This was part of a jizake set we ordered from Belluna Gourmet.

It has a delicate and mellow bouquet, intertwining the essence of koji and a whisper of alcohol—the initial sip glides in with a smooth and creamy texture, revealing subtle hints of dried fruits. It is neither too heavy nor too light. The medium-dry profile dances harmoniously with lively acidity. As the journey concludes, a gentle bitterness emerges, akin to a refreshing herbal note. The exit is mild, leaving a lingering memory.

This sake is a great companion for authentic Japanese cuisine. Its mild temperament complements sushi, sashimi, and tempura flawlessly. We recommend enjoying it at room temperature, allowing its nuanced flavours to unfold.
