Golden hue, and a mild and fruity nose with a touch of sharpness. On the palate, it's rich and elegant with a medium body and a light, velvety texture. You'll find a creamy sweetness initially, followed by a refreshing acidity that gives way to a pronounced bitterness. The finish is long and sour. All the flavours are well-balanced, resulting in a rich, sharp, and elegant sake.
