The nose on this seasonally released free-run cask strength unpasteurized sake is a kicking collection of pear, grape, cantaloupe, peach, Gardenia, coconut, and pound cake aromas. Light, spritzy, lively, juicy, bright, fresh, and crisp, this sake is like dipping your face in the sake tank and drinking it raw. Edgy, fruity, and expressive it’s a great example of living-and-breathing freshly made sake that jumps in the glass.
