DESCRIPTION: Iinuma Honke, a sake brewery in Shusui Town, Chiba Prefecture, has been in business for 300 years. Kinoe Ne Aki-agari is an autumn sake brewed by Iinuma Honke, which has a new label from 2021. The original label looked like "the sake" with an image of Hanafuda (Japanese playing cards), but it has been changed to a stylish label with fluttering ginkgo leaves. Kinoene sake is characterized by its "fresh" quality, but the "mature" element has been added to it in the form of Aki-agari. The label is very stylish and perfect for the season that is moving from summer to autumn! This sake is fun to compare with KINOENE JUNMAI GINJO.
