About
A subtle fruit aroma spreads across the palate, and a refreshing acidity reminiscent of citrus fruit gives the sake its crisp finish. Its low sugar content lets the freshness and a faint youthful astringency come alive once it is paired with food, where it shows remarkable expressive range. The use of hempei seimai (flat-shaped rice polishing) gives outstanding crispness that leaves the palate clear. Serve well chilled alongside your favorite dishes.
