Ohmine 3 Grain Yamadanishiki "Hiyaoroshi White"

The nose on this elegant fall draft single-pasteurized seasonal sake is a very exciting collection of pear, persimmon, lychee, green apple, Sprite, Pixy Stix, sea salt, cotton candy, and mango aromas. Say hello to a second Hiyaoroshi fall draft sake from Ohmine made with Yamadanishiki brewing rice. Spritzy, bright, juicy, smooth, silky, water-like, plump, and off-sweet, this brew is very well-balanced and sits nicely on the palate. There are peek-a-boo looks of astringency and acidity, with just a very light touch of effervescence that makes the sake drink clean with a long dry finish. Look for pear, Muscat, berry, honeydew, kiwi, cotton candy, rock sugar, green apple Jolly Rancher, milk bread, caramel, and creamy flavors that roll through the mouth with a touch of glucose and a vein of umami.
