Shin Tsuchida - Activated Nikkori Nama Sake

From the lactic acidity drink-like mouthfeel, this sake has a firm acidity, umami, and richness with a sharp taste. You can taste many different tastes in one glass. It is a fun SAKE with a subtle change in taste each time because the yeast is still alive.
