This sake is made with locally grown Koshi Hikari rice polished to just 80% remaining. A vibrant and fresh style with fruit-driven texture anda long fine finish. As is the case with a lot of Mukai’s products, expect a richly integrated rice character, tight acidity, and old-school aromatic notes.

The current Toji [Master Brewer] is Kuniko Mukai who is the eldest daughter of the family. Kuniko was one of the first women Master Brewers in Japan at the young age of 22.
