About the award-winning products

SWEET MOMENT - The ultimate sweetness -

This rich, sweet sake, made with 1.4 times the usual amount of rice*, has a sake meter reading of -50. The rich sweetness, condensed from the richness of the rice, is balanced with a gentle acidity, resulting in a clean, elegant finish. The yeast used is an original product of the Ozeki General Research Institute. It exudes a gentle ginjo aroma and a subtle fruity fragrance. With an excellent balance of aroma, sweetness, and lingering finish, this sake can be enjoyed like a dessert. It's recommended as a substitute for dessert after a meal, or as a treat for yourself at the end of the day. Enjoy it in a variety of ways to suit your mood and the occasion.
