Shishi no Sato Shun Junmai Ginjo "Moments"

The nose on this sake that is called “Moments” is world class and features an array of melon, lime, grape, papaya, mochi, cake icing, ginger, and green grass aromas. Smooth, light, bright, velvety, soft, clean, and slightly spritzy, this is exciting sake that represents some of the best Yamadanishiki brewing rice from Hyogo, and impeccable sake-making skills. With an ABV of only 14%, this is very drinkable sake that has a nice Ginjo attitude. Note the technique-driven crisp and snappy texture, with a quick "kire" finish. Look for pear, green apple, young mango, lime, rock sugar, green tea, and green grape flavors that jump with a nice astringency and an overall dry complexity flow. Great nose and great sake, this is a treat for sake fans.
