Description

This sake presents a clear appearance and features a deep, mellow, and elegant sensory profile. It offers a fruity Ginjo aroma with notes of cherry, candy floss, and sakura blossoms, which harmonizes with a delicate and extremely smooth palate. The body is medium with bright acidity, leading to a refined finish that carries a slight hint of white pepper and nutmeg. It is a well balanced and complex Junmai Daiginjo with an alcohol by volume of 15.2%.

Food Pairing

This versatile sake is an ideal match for delicate Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi, sashimi, and lightly seared scallops. Its fruity fragrance and crisp acidity also complement Western dishes such as caprese salad, poached white fish, or creamy cheeses like brie and camembert. For a unique pairing, it can be served alongside zesty melon salad or grilled chicken with a light citrus glaze.
