Know More:

At Tsubosaka, the 15th generation brewery owner known as Masaaki San was researching sake and he discovered that by warming it to 'body temperature (35-37 degrees)', a harmonious set of flavors were 'bulging' and the aroma of rice and koji intensified. This sake was first released in 1983, and the formula has not changed since!

The label famously says in Japanese: Drink it hot, but not too hot! This phrase is a reminder that not all 'hot' sake needs to be consumed hot! It can be warm or room temperature, too!
