Nothing particularly wrong with this sake, but for my preference, I needed to keep reminding myself that I was drinking sake. Extremely light, missing a lot of umami. Would not get again.

Herbal and floral, supported by overipe mango and melon. Dry with a long earthy finish. Another lively sake from #NigataSelections
