Drank at room temperature. The color is a hint of yellow. The olfactory intensity is high, and the olfactory persistence is appreciable. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas recognizes impressions of dried apricot, umami, melon and white flowers. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of powerful and robust sake. The aroma on the tongue is rather dry. The body is structured. The taste intensity is high, and the taste persistence is good. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are of drinkable sake. On the roof of the mouth arrive notes of white peach, spring water, honey, almond and oak. for a strong flavor.
