About the brewery

Niizawa Brewery dates its founding to 1895 in Osaki, Miyagi, and moved production to Kawasaki Town in 2011. The brewers work as a team rather than under a traditional toji hierarchy, with the stated aim that today's sake should be better than yesterday's. Its Hakurakusei and Atagonomatsu labels sit alongside a liqueur, gin and sparkling range.

紅茶の代表格であり、爽やかな香りが特徴の茶葉「セイロン」と柑橘類の「ベルガモット」をブレンドした『アールグレイ』を贅沢に使用し、仕上げた1本です。丁寧に仕込んだ日本酒と甘さを抑えた紅茶の優雅な味わいが特徴です。食後の〆の一杯として、ロックや、牛乳、ソーダで1：1で割ってお楽しみください。冷蔵保存していただけますと風味を良く味わえます。
