Absolutely stellar release! Blooming osmanthus & jasmine, lychee jellies & fresh peeled mandarin orange notes make a very juicy, full and complex blanc. Luxurious. Great for lovers of Cel 24. Even the pasteurized version feels like it's full of life and verve.
Den "Blanc" is so named after the use of white koji mold instead of the usual yellow koji mold: a mutation that produces high quantities of acidity, especially citric acid, and is most often used in shochu brewing rather than sake. In Blanc, this gives the sake its unusual mandarin orange flavor notes and bright, satisfying acid profile.
