This sake from Obuse, crafted by a dedicated husband-wife team, has a captivating nose with pronounced notes of pear, white peach, and melon, complemented by a spicy undertone. The sake is full-bodied and velvety on the palate, with a refreshing bitterness and a rich umami flavour. The initial intensity mellows as the sake warms, revealing a smoother, gentler character. The finish is long and clean, with a lingering acidity. Enjoyed chilled or warmed, this is a gem.
