Home drinking. Gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples and La France. When you take a sip, the fresh sweetness spreads softly. The lingering aftertaste in the latter half is light and gives a gentle and soft impression. Even those who do not usually drink sake will find the taste honestly delicious.

Senkori Solid, Modern A famous sake from Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture. Led by brewer Usui, this local sake is made with locally produced and consumed rice (Domaine Sakura), natural yeast, wooden vat brewing, and no fermentation accelerants added. The sake is brewed with Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki (koji: 50% polished rice, kake: 60% polished rice) and named "Modern". It has a gorgeous aroma and a juicy, unique flavor that goes well with current cuisine (Western cuisine), and since it contains a lot of malic acid, its taste is enhanced when drunk cold, with a lingering, full flavor with a good accent. It has a lingering, full-bodied finish. It is a perfect accompaniment to cheeses, sauces and meat dishes.

KAUSHITO KUHEIJI Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki EAU DU DESIR EAU DU DESIR on the shoulder label translates to "water of hope". It is highly acclaimed and has been on the list of three-star restaurants in France. It has a unique acidity and a flavor so distinct from sake that it gives the illusion of drinking a fine white wine. The idea was to import back to Japan the information about sake that has been recognized overseas, and to make Japanese customers think, "Sake is really delicious and recognized overseas," and "Sake can be used in French and Italian cuisine.  It is truly "water of hope.

Koshi Kinoene Apple Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu Refreshing aftertaste of malic acid Cute and easy to drink, yet authentic. A casual style junmai ginjo-shu that expands new possibilities for sake. The malic acid, which is abundant in white wine, gives this sake a delicate aroma, a harmony of sweetness and acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste. The light aftertaste is even more enjoyable when chilled. A new taste and pleasure for those who are not familiar with sake.
