Delicate and fruity on the nose, offering notes of green apple and pear. Opens smoothly, with a medium body with depth and a velvety texture. Rich and earthy, with a harmonious mouthfeel that reveals hints of chocolate-like sweetness, umami, and a touch of bitterness, all balanced by the rice's natural acidity. A Junmai sake with a gentle mouthfeel yet a firm, defined flavour. The brewery recommends it on the rocks.
