A limited-release sake crafted with 100% Omachi rice grown in Okayama Prefecture, this expression is part of the brewery's Junmai Ginjo series showcasing the unique character of different sake rice varieties, alongside Aiyama, Kaminoho, and Yamadanishiki.
Production was further limited due to adjustments made by the brewery before its official release, making this an exceptionally rare offering.
Elegant aromas of pear and apple lead to a refined palate with a mild yet generous sweetness. Its supple, rounded texture lingers gracefully, leaving a smooth and satisfying finish.

Brewery Story
Crafted with local water and rice.
Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, founded in 1869, is located in Suzuka, which is famous for its Formula One race track. In this region, which is blessed with limpid subterranean water from the Suzuka Mountains and high-quality rice from the Ise Plain, the brewing industry has long flourished. But many of these breweries have been forced out of business, and Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten is now the only brewery in Suzuka. The brewery uses mainly Mie rice grown by local contract farmers and brews on a small scale all year round. The brewery aims to craft a light sake that smoothly harmonizes with food, in pursuit of sake that fits with today's diverse cuisines.
