Introduction

With a bouquet that playfully hints at bananas and melons, complemented by a lively acidity for a crisp taste, this sake matures gracefully over a single summer to achieve a harmonious blend of softness and rich flavor. Offering a vibe that's notably more opulent compared to Hakurakusei, it was reimagined and introduced as "Sasara" in 2008, marking a delightful transformation in its taste profile.
