No.6, Aramasa Shuzo's flagship brand expressing the appeal of their identity, the No. 6 yeast. Here we introduce the 2020 edition of the mid-range 'S-type.' A quintessentially Aramasa flavour: a light, sweet-and-sour character reminiscent of lychee and pear. Rice-derived richness, and a faint toastiness. And a bitterness that appears in the finish lures you toward your next glass — an addictive sake.
