A fruity nose with notes of green apple and peach, complemented by floral aromas and gentle sweetness. Hints of banana, melon, and peach emerge as the sake opens, yet the bouquet remains refined and never overpowering. The entry is crisp and refreshing, leading into a full body with a silky texture. A slight natural effervescence adds freshness to the palate. Initial fruity sweetness soon gives way to lively acidity, creating a superb balance between sweetness and freshness. Although rich in flavour, the sake never feels heavy.

Brewed exclusively from the premium nakadori (middle-run) portion of the pressing, it showcases the finest aromas and flavours of the batch. The flavours broaden across the palate before coming together harmoniously, making this a classic, expressive Yamori sake with vivid fruit character. A touch of bitterness in the aftertaste provides a refreshing accent. The finish is crisp, clean, and pleasantly lingering. It is best enjoyed well chilled, as some of its lively crispness softens at room temperature.
