Zaku Impression M

Description

Unfiltered sake version of “Zaku Megumi no Tomo” which won SAKE COMPETITION 8th place in Junmai Ginjo category.

It has a refreshing aroma and taste reminiscent of green apples. Immediately after opening, the ultra-fine carbonic acid that pops with bubble wrap creates a refreshing taste.

As time goes by, the carbonic acid feeling fades, and at the same time, a rich flavour appears.
