In 100 words or less tell us what is Suwaizumi’s appeal?
Suwaizumi’s theme is “A happy dinner table”.
So, we got to thinking, what can Sake, especially country Sake contribute to a “happy dinner table”?
As a result, we came to the conclusion that, we want Suwaizumi to be the kind of Sake you can enjoy with good food, and, the Sake you want to drink when you have good food!
What we think is good Sake, is Sake that makes your meal better, whether chilled or warmed, a delicious Junmaishu.
A high quality Junmaishu that is at home in your everyday dining, is not extravagant, but is gentle on your palette. A Sake that you’ll keep coming back to.
