The magic of the barrel: Chardonnay Cask leads to a luxurious, otherworldly experience.

The first impression is a rich aroma of vanilla and toast, derived from the oak barrels used to age Chardonnay. The profound umami of the triple-koji blends with the magic of the barrel, creating a multi-layered, premium taste that blurs the boundaries between sake and wine. The smooth mouthfeel and long finish from barrel aging elevate the potential of the unpolished rice to a "supreme" level.

Exquisite water adjustment has achieved a perfect harmony between the barrel aroma and the umami of sake. Enjoy a luxurious moment with a Western essence, savoring rich cream cheese. This is a sake that embodies a true "new world" where Japanese and Western elements merge. If you let it warm up slightly, the barrel aroma will blossom even more richly.
