Freshly cooked Sasanishiki rice comes alive in this rich, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, allowing you to directly savor the vitality of the rice.

As the name "Ginshari" (polished white rice) suggests, this sake aims to capture the delicious umami of the white rice we enjoy daily. Its most distinctive feature is the exclusive use of 100% Sasanishiki, the king of table rice, rather than sake-brewing rice. As you bring the glass closer, the first thing you'll notice is a soft, sweet aroma, much like freshly cooked rice. The texture is surprisingly rich and juicy. The multi-layered umami of the unfiltered rice melts on your tongue, followed by the fresh acidity characteristic of unpasteurized sake, brightly framing the overall flavor. The elegant sweetness and crisp finish unique to Sasanishiki are beautifully integrated with the robust power of the original sake, offering an exceptionally satisfying drink.

Serve well chilled at 5-10℃. For enjoying the punch of the original sake, drink it straight. It's also recommended to enjoy the change as the temperature rises slightly and the sweetness opens up.
