Born no Hatsuyuki Rock Sake 720ml

Born “Hatsuyuki Ice Sake (Rock Sake)” is a lightly cloudy Junmai Daiginjo designed to be enjoyed in multiple ways, with no single “correct” serving style. Whether served on the rocks for a sharper profile, straight to appreciate its full aroma and depth, frozen into a smooth sherbet-like texture, or gently warmed, each method reveals a different expression of the sake.

Crafted using premium Hyogo Special A-grade Yamada Nishiki rice, this sake blends two Junmai Daiginjo styles: 80% polished to 35% and 20% polished to 50%, resulting in an effective average polishing ratio of approximately 38% (labelled as 50% under regulations). This unique composition creates both depth and balance, combining refined elegance with smooth, lightly cloudy texture.

Designed to offer both versatility and quality, it delivers a polished, premium experience that adapts to the moment—whether for casual enjoyment or a more refined occasion.
