Kamoshibito Kuheiji Junmai Daiginjo "Human"

The nose on this concept sake is a slick collection of pear, melon, acacia, papaya, grape, honey, and ginger aromas. The brewery calls this a “flattering cuvee which is accessible to all those who claim to be human.” We call it concept sake that is built to be enjoyed by all the sake drinkers all over the world. Using Hyogo-grown Yamadanishiki milled to 45%, this Daiginjo drinks light, bright, and very expressive, with a great blending of fruit tones and umami, and an integrated acidity that launches a fresh finish. Look for remarkable flavors such as grapefruit, flan, honeycomb, whipped cream, sweet rice, and powdered sugar that meld with extremely elegant umami to make a tantalizing and refreshing complexity that does best in a white wine glass. If you’re a fan of the very popular Kuheiji brand, then this is a must try. And if you’re new to Kuheiji, this is a great starting point.
