This sake has been bottle-matured in the brewery’s cave for 240 days. Shimazaki Brewery utilizes an old WWII tank-building cave 800-meters deep for sake storage. They acquired the cave in 1970 and started making long-term aged sake. The consistent humidity and micro-climate (averaging 10°C) within the cave tunnels yield a distinctively mellow texture and profile. They are now seen as a leading brewer of long-term aged sake.

Tasting Notes: This flavorful sake is quite complex with a mellow and round texture. It is slightly herbaceous and mildly nutty on the palate. It is best served either chilled or at room temperature.

Milling: 65%
