Niigata-grown rice polished to 55% is the basis of this ginjo nama-chozo from Kikusui Sake in Niigata. Sold in the iconic aluminum can first introduced in 1972, Funaguchi Ichibanshibori pioneered the commercial raw sake category in Japan, delivering a rich, fruity-forward palate and a concentrated umami that evolves with time.
