Kokuryu, The Doors of Ginjo, Daiginjo (Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation)

Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of banana, typical Ginjo flavor. When you drop it in your mouth, you find it very smooth and clear. As time goes by, the sweetness of flower honey comes. It is light, but you can feel the structure in it. I think the label represents the essence of the Japanese Sake. It is really an entry bottle for Ginjo.
