Kenbishi Zuishou (new in June 2025)

A blend of old sake made from Yamada-nishiki produced in Hyogo prefecture, that has gone through a long aging process of more than 5 years. Rich aroma and sweetness harmonize gorgeously.
The taste is mild, yet rich umami stays and comes and goes in the mouth. We call it “wave of bliss”. Enjoy the fully matured luxurious taste that is only available once in a year.
