Emishiki Junmai Ginjo "World Peace"

The nose on this exceptional brew is a ripe collection of pear, peach, orange peel, oregano, and honeycomb aromas. The concept of world peace is cool; the sake called "World Peace" is cooler. This is a bottle that you will want to give to your stuffiest wine snob buddy and say, “See. Sake can be rich, full-bodied, lush, and extremely flavorful, and it is even more complex and balanced than wines!” This brew makes the sake industry look good! Rich, round, smooth, with weight and a little friskiness, this sake drinks with a mild lively spritz that is more rich than tingle. Look for peach, pears in juice, nectarine, apricot, berry jam, grapefruit, white bread, vanilla, and butter cream flavors, that dance on an umami flow, with a dry mineral finish. Red wine drinkers take note!
