Rich aromas of rice and kōji are accompanied by fresh notes of melon, along with gentle spicy and sweet nuances. Chilled, the sake has a crisp, lively opening with a full body and silky texture. Moderate sweetness is balanced by pronounced rice flavours and a generous umami character, while a touch of acidity and light bitterness add freshness towards the finish. The aftertaste is clean and lingering. As the sake approaches room temperature, its sweetness becomes more noticeable, revealing a softer, rounder character.
