A sake which represents the culmination of many years of brewing experience, this Junmai Ginjo sake aims to capture the essence of what we believe to be an ‘ideal’ sake. It is made from 55% polished Yamada Nishiki rice, and has an elegant aroma reminiscent of pears and green apples. With a refreshing, pleasant finish that spreads across back of the palate, it leaves a lasting impression of elegance. Serve slightly chilled in a larger-bowled wine glass, such as one designed for oaked chardonnay. Rice type: Yamadanishiki sake rice. Polishing ratio (seimaibuai) (精米歩合): 55%. Sake Meter Value (nihonshudo) (日本酒度): -1. Acidity: 1.75. Serve at 8 or 35 °C. Bottle size: 750 ml.

Drank at room temperature. The consistency of the liquid is clear, colorless and transparent. The olfactory intensity is normal and lasts sufficiently. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas recognizes characteristics of white-fleshed peach, mushroom, pepper, umami and mineral. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of strong and robust sake. The aroma on the tongue is rather dry. The body is full. The taste is pleasant. The aroma in the mouth bears signs of vanilla, peach, dried apricot, spring water, gin, honey and umami.
