This elegant sake, made from high-quality rice carefully brewed over time at low temperatures, has a smooth flavour and aroma sitting comfortably between sweet and dry, with plenty of umami and a satisfying body. This full-bodied Honjozo has a complex suite of aromas of cocao powder, baking spices and creme brulee followed on the palate by an umami filled balance.

Drank at room temperature. The liquid is clear. The consistency of the liquid is clear. The nose taste - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The nose taste - secondary aromas traces impressions of mushroom, earthy, undergrowth and strong alcohol flavor. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of medium strength’s sake, delicate aroma and light taste. The body is round, and the taste intensity is normal and the taste persistence is sufficient. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are of drinkable sake. Hints of vanilla, white peach, melon, green apple, mushroom, honey and umami stop on the tongue.
