Appearance: The sake presents itself with a clarity reminiscent of lemon-green hues.
Nose: A clean and pronounced aroma greets the senses.
Aroma: Fruity notes intertwine with a pronounced sharpness.
The fragrance is sweet and gentle, promising a delightful tasting journey. This junmai falls into the dry to off-dry sweetness category on the palate, accompanied by high acidity. Its medium alcohol content complements a medium-light body, while the flavour intensity leans above medium. The dominant flavours are fruity and floral, driven by sweetness but ultimately balanced by acidity and dryness. A genuinely refreshing choice, this sake pairs harmoniously with seafood.
It maintains its refreshingly acidic character when served at room temperature, albeit with a slight mellowing effect.
This was our first Mutsu Hassen, and we were genuinely impressed.
