Brewery: Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, Suzuka, Mie, Japan
Classification: Junmai

Brewer description: Well-balanced aromas of fresh and ripe fruit with a hint of lychee. Rice umami on the palate leads to a clean, crisp finish, with smooth sweetness and an easy-drinking character. Can be enjoyed chilled or warmed.
