This bottle is officially listed on Japanese Air Force One. Of course, it won a lot of domestic and international contests many times. The rice that is used to brew for this bottle is polished 20-35%. The ratio is really astonishing. This effort may lead to the pure and clear taste. And, they age this Japanese Sake under 0 degrees Celsius for 2 years. This process makes its tastes matured and harmonized. It also generates the fresh fruits flavors.
