Rice used: Yamadanishiki produced in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol 15%.
The brewery was converted to a domaine based on the idea of valuing the terroir of Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, and rice grown in the same water as the brewing water is used. In pursuit of "going back to the basics," the brewery expresses this concept by cultivating ancient rice "Kame-no-o" and using methods such as low-polishing, nama-moto (raw white rice) brewing and wooden vats for the preparation of sake. The lineup is divided into four brands: the standard Modern Senkou (fast brewing) and Classic Senkou (Nama-moto), the completely additive-free Naturale series, and the Premium series.
The piquant, fruity aroma with a slight fizz is subtle, with a nice gradation of spiciness by the time you move on to the alcoholic drinking experience. A refreshing taste of rice flavor.
