This seasonal sake is made from special rice “Shunyo” from Niigata Prefecture, a low-protein rice developed for those suffering from kidney disease. It is also a rice that produces supple amount of 4MMP, an aromatic component that is known as a characteristic incense component of wine of grape variety “Sauvignon Blanc”, and is characterized by its green and refreshing scent.

Fresh scent of green apples and white grapes, centered on the juiciness of grapefruit, bring together refreshing acidity and a pleasant aftertaste. The progression from the first to second to third glass is an interesting one that would leave you yearn for more.
