This is a typical Kyoto sake made using Iwai sake rice from Kyoto. Although this rice has won high praise as a quality sake rice, it stopped being grown because of food shortages due to the war and difficulty in growing the rice. However, the rice was resurrected in 1990 and used for this typical Kyoto sake whose motto is "Kyoto sake made from Kyoto rice." The name is written using the Chinese character for capital as written in China during the Heian Period as the sake was brewed using Iwai sake rice around the time of the 1200th anniversary, of the transfer of Japan's capital from Nara to Kyoto. This gives the sake a historical feel. This sake boasts a top quality fruity and creamy flavor with a spicy, refreshing aftertaste.
