A gentle nose with sweet and spicy aromas, showing fruity notes of pear, muscat grape, and white peach. Crisp from the very beginning, the sake has a slight effervescence, a medium body, and a palate that briefly reveals soft, fluffy fruit sweetness before shifting into pronounced acidity and sharp dryness. It is seriously dry and refreshing, with a long, clean finish.

This is very much a modern food sake, designed to complement and enhance the dishes it's served with. Despite its approachable, easy-drinking character, it should not be overlooked that the sake carries a robust 17% ABV.
