On the palate, it presents a rich and aromatic entry. The mouthfeel is characterised by a pleasing fruitiness and a solid structure balanced by moderate acidity. A dry and crisp finish showcases a pronounced umami character and a complex interplay of flavours. The spiciness persists even at room temperature, adding a unique dimension to the overall profile—a well-crafted sake demonstrating high quality and complexity.
