Style
This sake opens up with very pleasing aromas of fruit. There is some gentle sweetness of lychee and bubblegum, and also a surprising tropical feel with notes of pineapple and mango on the nose.
The palate is modest and not overly complex, featuring rice and hints of apple. The acidity and crisp bitterness helps to keep the palate refreshing. Prominent umami provides the bulk of the body and makes this great for drinking alongside meals.
The finish is rather short: dry and refreshing.
