Notes of tangerine, canteloupe and honeydew, orange flower, raw sugar, ripe banana, and fresh mochi.
This is a very crisp, clean, honest, and somewhat subtle sake that should really cost at least 50% more. It's polished to daiginjo level using Toku A rice from Hyogo, brewed with delicate snowmelt water from the town of Kawaba in pristine Gunma prefecture. They've even established a nature preserve around the brewery property to maintain the condition of the sake brewing environment.
