Sadaijin Tsu Moon Series
Unpasteurised, undiluted, unfiltered and brewed in a single batch by Otone Brewery, these limited edition sakes are released each season, the flavours developing over the months. Crafted in the "origarami" style, a small amount of rice lees has been reintroduced into the bottle. The result is an indescribable softness with a slight tingle and refreshing quality, complemented by plenty of texture and character, maturing into richer characteristics depending on the season.

This special sake is made using carefully selected Wakamizu sake rice from the prefecture, and a sake yeast (Gunma Kaze 2) typically reserved for the most premium 'Daiginjo' grade.
After fermentation and gentle pressing, some of the remaining rice lees are put back into the bottle, allowing for a second fermentation during maturation. This process gives the sake its characteristic texture and spritz. It was matured at near-freezing temperatures and released in limited-edition seasonal batches over the year.
