The well-worn jeans of the sake world, nothing beats the comfort that this sake gives. Smooth from the moment it touches your lips, it has a soft aroma of mixed berries, melon, and earthiness. The toji has made efforts to keep the original rice flavors, and the abundance of amino acids gives this junmai a plush roundness that is highlighted when warmed.

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Masumi “Okuden Kantsukuri”
In creating Okuden, the toji imagined a junmai that could be enjoyed warm, in a casual setting to relax, not for special occasions. Its mellow and mild-mannered characteristics are comfortingly familiar among long-time sake-drinkers. It's the favorite old jeans that fit you like a glove.

Great chilled, but even better warm. Serve in a tumbler if chilled, ochoko when warmed.
