¥3,000Incl. VAT
Description
The mysterious red hue of ancient rice. A rich rosé where the richness of triple koji and natural pigments blend together.
A stunning red that catches the eye the moment it's poured into a glass. Using "Triple Koji (X3)" technology, which utilizes three times the normal amount of koji, this special sake fully extracts the rich anthocyanins and umami hidden in ancient rice, truly embodying "the vitality of rice." Along with the fresh taste unique to unpasteurized sake, a deep sweet and sourness reminiscent of dark cherry and plum spreads across the palate.
