Product details
Aroma (The Bouquet)
- The nose is vibrant, fragrant, and highly aromatic. It presents a beautifully complex mix of fruity, sweet, and comforting base notes:
- Primary Fruits: Crisp Asian pear, green apple, white peach, and under-ripe mango.
- Sweet & Creamy Undertones: Enticing aromatic layers of white nougat, steamed rice, and a delicate hint of almond mousse or rice pudding.
- Subtle Accents: A faint whisper of savory white sesame adds depth to the top notes.
Palate (Flavor & Mouthfeel)
On the palate, this sake transitions brilliantly from its fruity introduction into a more substantial, voluptuous character.
- Flavor Profile: Upfront tropical and stone-fruit sweetness quickly balances out into deeply savory, toasty complexities. Expect mid-palate notes reminiscent of roasted cashew, wheat toast, and shortbread. Texture & Body: It boasts a highly dignified, silky, and rounded texture. Despite the higher alcohol content, it feels airy and clean, offering a clear and honest rice flavor bolstered by a mild, mouth-watering umami presence.
The Finish
The finish is clean, straightforward, and impeccably dry. It leaves behind a subtle, elegant hint of dark cocoa and a touch of light, pleasant bitterness that cleanses the palate and begs for another sip.
