Tasting Notes
With hints of cooked rice and fresh lychee nuts, this sake's earthy aromas are luminously balanced with the bright acidity and creamy texture found on the palate. Lemon rind, silky cheese, and green, forested flavors dominates the mouth all the while the medium-bodied sake lingers austerely on the finish.
