Cantaloupe, honey dew and green apple. So delicate and balanced. Quite full bodied and long finish. 精米歩合: 39%

That clean fresh, herbaceous Jose you would expect from a well made sake. The pallete rolls with English cucumber and tarragon. A delightful sake, one; as my friend Kazumi tells me, is of high quality. Thanks Kazumi!

This is killer sake. Obviously not as killer as the 23. But for the price the flavors explode with flowers and apples. Great acid. This is so flavorful. Great solo or with food. But solo is good.

A wonderful change of pace and every bit as interesting. A wonderful aroma of peach and tropical flowers leads the way to a delicate yet rich texture. Underripe melon, pear and peach show up front with subtle peppercorn and cooling menthe on the rear and all wrapped in a creamy mouthfeel. Stunning length.

Clear, filtered. This sake is amazing! Flavors of honeydew melon, white flowers and a sweet pear finish.

As the 39 warms it just gets more delicious. I still lean 23 over this BUT there is just no way you can’t enjoy this and could enjoy it all night long
