About
A Daiginjo made with Yamada Nishiki, the finest sake rice, and slowly fermented at low temperature with great care. Tasting notes: A faint green tint in the color. Pure and sharp in character, with grapefruit zest and Rafrance pear, together with the green herbal aroma of Zubrowka grass (bison grass), further highlights its freshness. A subtle sweet scent of plum blossom adds to the composed, refined impression. The palate is extremely dry and clean. Overall it feels firm and well-defined, tight in structure, and leaves a light, slightly smooth minerality.
