This exceptional sake, crafted by a small family brewery in northern Nagano, unveils a vibrant bouquet of green apples and citrus. Its gentle, light to medium body offers a delightful interplay of moderate fruit sweetness and refreshing acidity. A distinct green apple crunchiness and dryness characterize the palate, complemented by subtle bitter and earthy notes. The finish is crisp with lingering acidity. As it warms, the sake transforms into a softer, creamier profile with a gentle fruitiness, maintaining its light to medium body.
