Flavor

Appearance: This sake is clear, it has no coloring.

Nose: The first nose is powerful with cereals and cocoa. There are also notes of mushroom. The second nose has scents of pear but very quickly, we return to cereals (cooked rice, puffed rice). There is a tangy and warm side. We feel a certain fullness with the alcohol but it is not negative.

Palate: The palate has a fresh attack. There is a slight sweetness but it is still dry. There is a velvety texture with great liveliness: like water. We find aromas of fruit and especially rice, green hazelnut, ripe apple and mushroom. There are also spices.

Finish: The finish is on aromas of rice and very ripe apple. It is very clear.

Conservation
