“Bâtonnage” is a winemaking technique in which the lees—known as sur lie—are periodically stirred back into the wine as it matures, using a bâton (a stirring stick).
This full-bodied Junmai Ginjō sake is aged with its own lees through a similar process.
It showcases the rich umami of Yamada Nishiki rice, along with a concentrated, refined acidity unique to this method.
