Tasting Notes: Kondo Shuzo uses only their own hand-selected Gohyakumangoku sake rice - well known for it's suitability for sake brewing - to produce this sake. Having perfected their craft day-by-day over the last 140 years, the brewery would now like to present to the USA market a rich, round semi-dry sake brewed with care using Mount Akagi mineral water.
