Saito Shuzo is the multi award winning brewery famous for their super premium brand EIKUN which has won the gold medal 14 years running at the new sake competition.
Otaka is the original brand for Saito Shuzo before Eikun was born. This time, Saito Shuzo's concept is 100% made in Kyoto. The rice is up to 60% polished Kyoto's original invented & grown Iwai rice. Water is Kyoto's famous soft water Shiragikusui which makes this sake taste soft & mellow. Also, the great hawk seen on the label is originally taken from the wall picture at Nijo Castle. This is a typical Kyoto Fushimi style Onna Sake (female sake): lightly fruity aroma, gentle impact, soft on palate & well balanced semi dry taste. Great gift Idea for sake beginners. Drinking at room temperature is the best throughout the year.
