Tasting notes

Nose: Expressive aromas of ripe pear, banana, steamed rice, and toasted nuts, with subtle earthy and cereal notes. Palate: Rich and full-bodied, offering layers of rice sweetness, ripe orchard fruit, savoury umami, and a creamy texture. The muroka (unfiltered) style preserves the sake's depth and natural richness, while Yamada Nishiki rice contributes elegance and balance. Finish: Long, smooth, and satisfying, with lingering umami, gentle rice sweetness, and a clean, dry finish.
