A sake that is slowly pressed by natural gravity and collected drop by drop. Limited production only released twice a year.

Tastes like: Grapefrui zest, Nashi pear, fresh mint, silky minerality

Made from the highest quality Yamadanishiki rice, this sake is elegant and layered. The pressing process to separate the sake lees from the liquid is special and time consuming; cotton bags filled with the sake mash are suspended in the air allowing gravity to naturally press out the liquids. The drops are then slowly collected over days into large bottles. Therefore, only a small portion of sake is made.

The beauty of the Shizuku (drip sake) style is that the flavors and layers opens up as it is exposed to oxygen in the glass. It is a very clean and clear sake, light sweetness and balanced acidity with a delightful dry finish that can accompany an entire meal or enjoyed alone by the glass.
