Bochiri means 'it fits' or 'just right' in the Tosa dialect of Kochi. The brewers set out to create a sake that is equally good warm or chilled without losing its original character. This unusual Junmai has a soft citrus aroma very like mikan orange, with zesty notes, a fresh, crisp palate and a soft dryness. Balanced and easy-going, it is best enjoyed on its own or with light savoury dishes.
