The nose on this seasonally released Spring Junmai Daiginjo is a cool collection of peach, pear, Muscat, pineapple, strawberry, yellow apple, lychee, and powdered sugar aromas. Are you ready for a modern spin on unpasteurized sake? Are you ready for light, elegant, and fresh Daiginjo sake for the Spring? Are you ready for tons of little bubbles on the inside of a white wine glass flavorfully creeping up the sides? Made with two premium sake rice varietals (Yamadanishiki/Miyamishiki) milled to 50% and using the modern 1801 brewing yeast this exquisitely balanced sake would greatly appeal to wine drinkers. Spritzy, crisp, bright, soft, juicy, light bodied, and lively this fresh sake drinks daintily across the palate with a quick and dry finish. Look for golden kiwi, fuji apple, cantaloupe, white peach, nectarine, persimmon, and angel cake with a mineral water finish that shows a hint of umami. A delightful sake that thinks clean and expressive with a tingly elegance.
