A symbol of light and forward momentum, this sake reflects a dedication to excellence—both in rice cultivation and brewing craftsmanship. It is an expression shaped by innovation, guided by tradition, and driven by a vision for the future of premium sake. Crafted using Yumeminishiki, a newly developed sake rice from the Nagano Prefecture Brewing Association. This hybrid of Yamada Nishiki and Mie Sake #2 is derived from Hitogokochi and Yamada Nishiki and was specifically developed for the production of ultra-premium Junmai Daiginjo sake.

At an annual sake and food pairing event in Nagano—bringing together leading chefs and sommeliers from across Japan—these dishes were recommended as standout pairings for this sake: Sanzoku Yaki (Japanese fried chicken with soy, garlic and ginger, a dish local to Nagano prefecture), Chikuzen Ni (chicken and root vegetables simmered in sweet soy), soba topped with tempura, and kombu seaweed cured white fish.
