Elegant, subtle white flower and citrus note on the nose. Med to med plus body and lovely Sake.

Wonderful minerality rounded out. A bit to round for tonight, however.

Just, just... just wonderful.

Initially, I get quince and a slight licorice that isn’t overpowering. Peach, of course.

The intangible here is just the well rounded character of the whole thing. It’s hard to nail down, but it’s got this savory, sweet, umami, bitter, acid quality to it that just brings a sip to the very edge of paradise as a flavor, a taste, an experience.

I’m glad I went for the gold here. I love drinking the canned sake and the 300 mL bottles when I’m going solo, so I upped the ante a bit and went for the mid-tier higher selection and it paid off.

Very good, but not as good as the first. Too much alcohol.

Dry, smooth, with a little melon on the finish.
