The graceful beauty of Koshitanrei and the ultimate "Tanrei Umakuchi" (crisp and savory) characteristic of Niigata.

This is the definitive junmai-shu, meticulously refined by Ishizuka Brewery, using "Koshitanrei," Niigata's premium sake-brewing rice. Poured from the large 1.8-liter bottle, it releases a pleasant, elegant ginjo aroma reminiscent of melon and white peach. The first sip glides smoothly across the tongue with a clean, clear umami flavor, free of impurities, before elegantly disappearing. It is truly "like water," yet the rich aftertaste of rice lingers long afterward.

Its elegance complements delicate Japanese cuisine rather than overpowering it, making it perfect for entertaining important guests or for a quiet evening when you want to savor your sake.
