Artist's commentary
Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3874
The smaller the milling ratio, the smaller the rice grains are pared down. Since that requires accordingly more rice, I figured that's what makes Junmai Daiginjō so expensive. Well, that's probably not the only reason it's so pricey.
When I go to a bar, they have an incredible variety of sake from all over the country, so I get get totally lost on which to drink. Even within the same brand, they have so many types! (^^;)
