Fruity nose with hints of berries, pear, melon, and rice aroma. A smooth and gentle entry with light sweetness leads to an extremely dry mouthfeel with plenty of umami and bitterness.
Pronounced ginjoka present. Long and bitter finish ending with a sour tingle. A remarkably refreshing sake for solo guzzling or as food accompaniment to more savoury dishes.
