From the Akita Prefecture brewery Ryozeki Shuzo comes an over-the-top, high-spec sake to commemorate its 150th anniversary. In a nod to the 150 years since founding, it comes in at 15% alcohol, a 15% milling ratio, and a price of ¥15,000 before tax. Like the freshly-pressed golden fruit ripening in the Garden of Eden. A Ryozeki all-star bottle that concentrates the gorgeous aroma of Setsugekka, the elegant sweetness of Hanamura, and the umami of Suigyoku.
