About
Fresh citrus-like acidity and sweetness, with the pleasant body of hard water, are wrapped in a faint bitterness, and then rinsed away cleanly. The flavor is like the Komoro violet (Komoro's city flower) that blooms profusely on the slopes of Mount Asama in spring. It is not a showy flower, but its deep hues and mysterious charm are reflected in this sake, which grows more flavorful with each passing day. It is enjoyable chilled, at room temperature, or warmed.
