The bottle of graceful Venetian blue black, printed Imperial chrysanthemum crest, two phoenixes making a pair and supporting a ball, each of them makes a seer feel the pride as a representative of Japanese sake.

As malted rice, they have used Yamada nishiki; it is famous as rice good for making sake because of its largeness, smallness of protein and high water absorbency. The rice-polishing ratio of BORN Cho Gin is 20%. The ratio shows how much rice is polished to make it better. The lower the number is, the more polished rice is. So they polish 80 percent of Yamada nishiki.
