The Sakeberto brewing team brings together time-honored Japanese craftsmanship and modern precision to create a sake that is both classic and contemporary. The result is a vibrant expression of Junmai Ginjo — smooth and aromatic, with refined floral and fruit notes that unfold gracefully with every sip.

Tasting Notes
