Bottled 11/2020. Intentionally aged 3 yrs, this sake of surprisingly fresh. Honeyed almond, pear skin, yellow apple, linen, green almond, some nondescript white blossom. Not as oxidized as one would think, given the age.

Unique style of intentionally-aged (3yrs) sake. Rich and rounded fruit flavors: poached apple, baked pear, melon, apricot jam, stale spice. Dry and not nearly as oxidized as I expected.

Savory, meaty, earthy, caramelized, charred soy. Nose like a bowl of bomb ramen So good.

Aged 3-4 years and has really cool savory notes. Great food sake.

Great room temperature and even gently warmed, more aromas come through and it's comforting.
