No.6 is Aramasa Shuzo's flagship brand, launched to express the charm of yeast No.6 — the brewery's own identity. Here we introduce its top-tier class, "X-type." New this year: it's now brewed with kioke shikomi (in wooden vats). Sweetness, umami and acidity strike an exquisite balance, and the tannins arrive fashionably late, bringing a crisp finish to the aftertaste. Refreshing, this coolness — you could drink it even with a hangover
