About
It opens with an elegant aroma and offers a complex, layered, and deep flavor, finishing clean and crisp. Despite an alcohol content of 17%, it feels light and lively. It is finished as a dry sake that does not tire even when you keep drinking, and it sits smoothly on the palate. It is delicious chilled. Because it is brewed using the yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method), it also responds well to warming, making it a sake for meals.
