About
Among Kikuhime's products, many of which are rich and full-bodied, this junmai sake is umakuchi (flavorful and savory) yet light and easy to drink. Its gentle drinking character means that even if you intend it only as a first drink (mazu ippai), your cups keep going down. A toasty aroma reminiscent of freshly cooked rice and a sweet fragrance reminiscent of banana are felt softly, and a crisp acidity and mellow umami let it slip smoothly down the throat.
