The nose on this seasonally released unpasteurized (Nama) summer sake is a wide collection of green apple, berries and cream, cut grasses, pomelo, passion fruit, yuzu, pineapple, vanilla, bread crust, plum, muscat, and ginjo-ka aromas. Wow! What an excellent summer sake that is bright, clean, crisp, lively, refreshing, spritzy-light, expressive with a little tingle and a fantastic quick finish. Look for guava, pear, orange juice, apple, watermelon, peach candy, simple syrup, papaya, lychee, and with a gingerbread finish. This is perfect summer sake that is a little effervescent and loaded with outstanding flavors and rocks in a white wine glass with a nice chill. WORD: Flavorful WINE: Bright Reds/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: Sushi, white fish sashimi, grilled crab, octopus carpaccio with yuzu sauce, Yakitori with salt, shrimp and veggie tempura, street tacos, sweet potato, caprese salad, vinegar cucumber, and oysters with lemon.
