Brewed using 100% yamada-nishiki rice (aka the King of sake rice - sometimes also called the cabernet sauvignon of sake rice) from the Kita-iki-iki Collective in Minami-aso village in the Kyushu highlands, who are famous for their pure waters and sustainable farming methods.

The rice is polished down to 55% to produce a very clear sake, with elegant aroma and subtle umami.

The sake rice has been grown using “natural cultivation”. This is a farming method that does not use any pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers (including organic fertilisers). It relies solely on the power of nature to grow crops. The yield is lower than more traditional rice farming and weeding is more difficult. There is no compromise on the quality of the sake rice, while the beautiful Minami-aso environment is safeguarded for future generations.

Pair this sake with snacks or dishes with a good umami profile, e.g. mushroom risotto, avocado, parmesan or gouda cheese, or tomato based pasta dishes.
