Tasting Notes

Vibrant with balanced sweetness, hints of citrus, and pineapple as a chilled sessionable summer staple. Or soothing notes of coconut, sweet potato, and apple when warmed for the winter months.

Silky-smooth, the most dynamic, drinkable, and versatile nigori (hazy)-style sake on the market-period. Its profile adapts to the flavors, feelings, and temperatures of every season.
