Reviews
Fresh aromas of bamboo and fennel. The palate is refined and precise, supported by fine acidity. A faint spritz adds freshness while firm structure ensures harmony—a superbly balanced sake.

Fruity aromas of ripe white peach and white flowers, accented by a pistachio-like toastiness that adds complexity. Distinctly layered bouquet with a palate that is smooth and mellow, carrying refined elegance seamlessly through the finish.

Aromas of green apple and Japanese citrus such as mandarin. Subtle and gentle on the nose. Soft fruit and mellow acidity expand on the palate, making this wine versatile with homestyle Japanese dishes.
