Taste: A very dry attack back up with beautiful Junmai petillant which is more complex than expected. Dry vanilla and pineapple.
Lingers for a while before disappearing on same dry notes. Mellows with food.
Comments: Straightforward, pleasant and easy to drink. The kind of sake to comfort you at any time of the day and night. This is more great value for its price!
