Hence, for this special Anniversary joint bottling (also our first Sake product) we are introducing a special sake experience by releasing a set of 3 bottle sake from the same single tank, harvested individually from each of the three pressing stage, allowing you to experience and satisfying curious palate with the difference in taste that each (three) of the pressing stage brings. This is also the first ever single tank sake in set ever release.
