720ml - 12 Bottles

Tsuchigumo, a wild Tenon (Ten'on) sake, delves into the earth's depths, in contrast to the celestial Mukyu Tenon (mukyu ten'on). Its unique lactic acid fermentation, being a result of alcohol-tolerant bacteria, offers an intriguing taste. This wild sake showcases simultaneous yeast and lactic acid fermentation. We observed that yeast can neutralize the negative effects of lactic acid.
