Tango-Koshihikari rice, native to the region and one of the most sought-after table rice variety,  is the main ingredient of this black label brew; giving to this sake its quite charming aromas and elegant taste. In fact, the delicate taste of the rice is wrapped around fragrances of apples and muscats rendering a pleasant experience to the palate and the nose.

Shirasugi Brewery started a real Revolution with this complex, yet subtle, unfiltered and undiluted Junmai Daiginjo where the qualities of the Tango-Koshihikari rice and the character of the Black Koji ingeniously come together to make you say Kampaï more than once!
