Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of fresh yellow peach and citrus. When you drop it in your mouth, a variety of tastes spread, rich sweetness, comfortable acidity and slight bitterness, etc. The only thing I can is they are perfectly harmonized. The texture is smooth and the finish is long. It has a good structure. This Japanese Sake has some similarity with a good quality white wine. You can enjoy this Japanese Sake in cold and warm. It is not usual that you make it warm when you enjoy high class Japanese Sake. But, if you enjoy this Japanese Sake in warm, you can find other charms. The flavor is emphasized.
