Tasting Notes: Spice minerality and banana skin dominate the aroma profile of this shizuku- pressed sake. Medium-bodied with a clean impact the flavors run the gamut of a well-crafted Junmai-Daiginjo- melons herbs vanilla essence and concentrated mineral flavors that keep the sake focused well into its long ethereal finish. Truly one of the 'Rolls-Royces' of sake. Brewery Founded: 1899 Brewery Location: Hokkaido Prefecture Press: 94 Points Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar
