Kozaemon's Tokubetsu Junmai starts with a refreshing nose and notes of green apples. The initial taste is tangy and slightly dry, evolving into a rich, complex flavour with harmonious acidity, umami, and fruity sweetness. The smooth, elegant mouthfeel and short finish with subtle spiciness and a sour tingle create a well-balanced and versatile sake. It pairs well with all sorts of dishes and can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed.
