All the Bunkajin are produced in small quantities and employ a single heat pasteurization process, which preserves the authentic flavor without filtration. The motto of "搾るまでは手間をかけ、搾ってからは手を加えず" (putting effort into the pressing and leaving it untouched afterward) to create numerous exquisite and refreshing Sakes.
