Yokota Shuzou is a prestigious sake brewery that won gold at the Annual Japan Sake Awards for seven consecutive years. This is an attempt to revive sake from the Edo period using the oldest sake yeast in Japan. This fruity sake is best served heated. The woodblock print, "Nihonbashi" by Ando Hiroshige, a well-known artist from the Edo period, is printed on the sake box.
