The warmth of aging that melts your soul. The true essence of "Kimoto" that transforms when warmed.

This sake has been carefully aged in the brewery and designed to fully bloom with its charm when served warm. Warming it brings out the creamy lactic umami derived from the Kimoto method, and layers of rice sweetness. On cold nights, this gentle flavor, characteristic of Niida Honke's commitment to natural methods, permeates your body. Our staff also love this exquisite sake, saying, "When it comes to hot sake, this is a must-have."
