Dry, complex, earthy, intensive Junmai. Also recommended for drinking warm.
Tastes like: dry, rich umami, nutty with pleasant bitterness
Amazing, Junmai sake that presents powerful and intensive taste. Once you take a sip, diverse kinds of tastes spread on your palate: umami, acidity, depth, light tanginess and sweetness.

Although this sake is dry, you can still feel the taste and sweetness of rice, making it an unbeatable pairing drink to heavier and/or meaty dishes. We recommend trying warming this sake in a hot water bath, you may fall in love with sake twice.

This sake is brewed from Wataribune sake rice which is Yamadanishiki's anchestor. Wataribune was almost extinct around the 1950s, but a farmer in Shiga prefecure recently gave a new life to this very delicate rice from just a handful (50g!) of seeding rice left of the strain.
