Mantensei
Star Filled Sky Junmai Ginjo Sake
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.

Apr 2nd, 2021Unique 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.
