TASTING NOTE:

The fragrant aroma associated with highly polished rice sakes. Expect notes of ripe apple, banana, and subtle floral hints, with a touch of melon or pear. The palate is smooth and elegant, with a refined texture. It offers a vibrant fruitiness upfront, transitioning to a crisp, clean finish with a slight umami undertone and a hint of bitterness. The balance of sweetness and acidity makes it versatile for pairing.
