Sommelier's comment

This is a pure rice aged sake made from 67% polished rice. It is characterized by the scent of sweet ripe yellow peach and honey, and the refreshing, gorgeous scent of mint. The sweetness and firm acidity spread throughout the mouth, and the aftertaste is long and very refreshing.


Brewed by: Wakatsuru Sake Brewery

Founded in 1862, Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture

Sake brewing experts are called toji, and there are different styles in each region depending on the climate. Representative examples include Echigo toji and Nambu toji, and Wakatsuru used to have two breweries that hired and competed with each other. Nowadays, one employee, the brewer, inherits and brews both styles, giving Wakatsuru its own unique style.
