A bright and cheery, joyful sake. Pure-rice Daiginjo that brings out the character of Aiyama rice.
The master brewer wanted to see just how far he could bring out their individual characteristics and appeal. It takes technique, knowledge, intuition, and above all, a love of rice. We brought together everything to brew its character.
The concentration of aromas is unique and the color has retained a beautiful transparency. The top note, the sweetness and the lingering aroma on the palate are exquisite, making you want to take another cup, another sip. It’s a curious sake that is both gentle on the body and truly intoxicating.
Tasting note: A sake that is both light and deep

The Seto brewery was founded in 1865 in the Kanagawa region of Kaisei-Machi. After stopping brewing in 1980, it resumed sake production in 2018.
The landscape, marked by rice fields that change over the seasons, the murmur of water and old thatched houses, has raised this question: What would sake produced in this soothing environment taste like? From there, the plan to revive the activity came into action.
Three people work in the kura today.
