Description
This sake comes with Yoshino cedar wood tied around the bottle. It is made from pure water (with a concentration of natural salts close to zero) drawn directly from a well dug underground using a traditional method perfected by "master craftsmen". Cedar is a fragrant and rot-proof wood widely used in Japan for its quality and fragrance and is notably used in temples and shrines or for making sake barrels. Yoshino cedar is very famous in Japan and considered the ultimate high-end wood. Alcohol content: 15.5°
Flavor

Appearance: The sake is clear and limpid. It has a slight straw-colored sheen.

Nose: After pouring the sake onto its wooden tongue, the first nose is aromatic with Japanese cedar (sugi). We sense a little pepper, notes of resin but also mint. In the background, we perceive fruits like banana. The latter is very present upon aeration.

Palate: The attack is sweet and fresh. The banana is intense. The palate is minty with notes of rice that intensify in the mid-palate. The finish is sweet with pear and green plum. The woodiness of the tongue is light.

Finish: We still perceive the delicate cedar at the very end of the mouth.

Conservation

Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
