59 Takachiyo Red Yeast Junmai Nigori
Red sake, you do say?! This unpasteurized sake is completely natural in how it derives its fizz, color, and taste. It is the most fun sake we have to offer. The red yeast used ....This sake is muroka, which means it has not been filtered with charcoal. As a result there is a small amount of rice lees, which makes the sake slightly cloudy. This is completely natural and doesn’t affect the quality of the sake in any way. To ensure freshness please keep this bottle refrigerated. It is recommended that this sake be consumed sooner than later, while it is fresh, especially after opening the bottle.
