Tsugu
The best things take time. Tsugu is proof. Brewed from Koshitanrei rice polished to 35% using the Genkei Seimai method, a technique so precise it's equivalent to 20% by conventional standards. this is not a sake that announces itself. It reveals itself gradually with every sip.

In the glass
The first thing you notice is the aroma: strawberry and green apple, crisp and clean. The palate follows with soft, silky restraint. The delicate sweetness doesn't rush toward the finish so much as ease into it. There's fruit, and beneath it, a rounded depth that stays with you after your glass is empty.
