This bottle features a vibrant "Nippon-ga" (Japanese painting) design by Taro Yamamoto. It's a collaboration with Honda Shoten's Tatsuriki Junmai Daiginjo sake from Hyogo Prefecture, a brewery that continues to explore ways to "enjoy Japan," and it seems to represent Japan's challenge to both tradition and innovation.
