Description
Kouten Junmaikarakuchi is a dry pure rice sake from Kouten Shuzo in Nagano, with the karakuchi label signaling a high nihonshu-do (sake meter value) and a clean, sharp finish. Junmai karakuchi styles emphasize savory umami from the rice while maintaining a dry, refreshing aftertaste. Nagano's clean alpine water contributes to the crisp, dry character of this expression.
