In a prefecture famous for full bodied, sweet sake, Daisekkei is a champion of refreshing, crisp, and earthy flavors.
This Hiyaoroshi shows refreshing yet deep notes of torched grapefruit, muscat, mineral water, pear, vanilla, fresh corn and applesauce, finishing with a mineral zing. A really interesting one for folks who love their sake dry, mineral and complex.
