In 2009, the first sake with a single-digit rice polishing content was launched in Japan. We brewed Zankyo with our newly built rice polishing machine and asked ourselves "how far can we push the rice polishing" and "how will the final product taste?" The sake was brewed with the technical mindset of suppressing the ginjo aroma derived from yeast and experimenting with the core flavor of the rice. At that time, the polishing share of rice was 9%, but it has developed from 9% to 8% and today to 7%.

A very special sake: transparent, delicate, with a sweet pear aroma and a subtle hint of white peach. Luxuriously polished to 7% for a clear, multi-layered taste and an elegant finish.
