Description
The brewery is located in the Hakushu area of Yamanashi Prefecture, which is known for its extremely high-quality water in the Japanese Alps. With the philosophy of "sake that embodies the local Hakushu water," the brewery has established a method of making ginjo-style sake that goes well with the Hakushu water. The wooden building was also used as the residence of Emperor Meiji.

18/7/2020. Sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear almost colourless with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet, fragrant rice, touch of aniseed, flowers. Medium sweetness with a tangy bitter/tart side. Moderate body, slight creamy texture soft carbonation. Very fragrant and tasty, liked this more than most sake’s I’ve had.

Drank cold. The consistency of the liquid is clear, colorless and transparent. The olfactory intensity is high, and the duration is appreciable. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas finds impressions of vanilla, peach. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of robust and vigorous sake. The aroma on the tongue is rather dry. The body is full. The taste intensity is high, and the taste persistence is good. The taste is very pleasant. The final mouth sensations are ready to drink. On the palate there are notes of pear, apricot, banana, resin, pine, pineapple and licorice.
