Profile: FFukushima's delicious and exclusive rice "Ten no Tsubu" (droplets of heaven) polished to 58% remaining of it's original size, and brewed with their local area's own original yeast lends a preciousness to this clean, easy drinking Ginjo. Crisp and mild with the gentle character of flowers and mochi rice.
