Description
Our company motto is "Japanese sake brewed in harmony". Our brewers have inherited the techniques handed down from the time of the company's founding and support each other in our efforts to create good sake.

We have two breweries, "Dewazuru Brewery" and "Kariho Brewery," and we are particular about the water and sake rice we use for brewing. Most of the local rice used for sake brewing is grown by the brewery staff, and the rice is milled in-house.

From my sake backlog. 300 ml bottle. Clear, pale yellow body. For me the aroma is just like water from boiling rice and quite strong alcohol fusel. Flavor is boiled rise water and alcohol as well. I had another sip the next morning, and might just sense a little hint of something between fruity and flower. I don’t know much about Sake, but I can’t believe this strong alcohol flavor make this one of the better samples. I’s simply too sharp on the alcohol. With the rest I just have to work my scores around middle as a I go on and learn more about this stuff.

Drank cold. The consistency of the liquid is clear. The olfactory intensity is high, and the olfactory persistence is appreciable. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma recognizes malted Koji rice. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas brings notes of vanilla, white peach, melon and green apple. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of powerful sake. The body is structured. The taste intensity is high, and the taste persistence is good. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are ready to drink. The finish is dry and clean. The aroma in the mouth presents impressions of vanilla, white peach, melon, dried apricot and almond.
