The nose on this freshly released sake from a brewery that typically ages their brews is a crisp collection of green apple, pear skin, spices, pumpkin bread, cantaloupe, and creamy aromas. Say hello to a performance sake that will speak to those who like clean, crisp, and laser tight sakes and are fans of clear spirits. Rich, bold, silky, tingly, and aggressive, this nama rejoices with a 19% ABV. Look for crisp apple, pralines, peach, salinity, white pepper, dried rice, and mineral flavors on a dry, sharp, and warming flow. This is a totally new look for a Noguchi sake and it will remind the drinker that sake can be raw and wild. WORD: Brash WINE: Zesty Reds/Massive Whites BEER: Dry Ales FOODS: Champagne fare, sushi, sashimi, oysters, caviar, olives, smoked fish.

From the importer Mutual Trading:

This is a commemorative new sake, the first to be brewed and the first to be squeezed. Fresh, sweet fruit aroma of young green apples. This product has a youthful citrus aroma, a fresh, clear, crisp taste, and a piquant gassy sensation. Since it is a new sake, there is a slight astringency, but it is a special taste that can only be enjoyed at this time each year. Serve chilled, not too cold, at around 10°C/50°F, in glassware.
