The sake

Made for the 300 ml format, matured at ice temperature

Yamada Nishiki is polished to 50%, and the sake is matured at about −5 °C for twelve months. In the nama-chozo style, it is stored without pasteurisation and then pasteurised once before release. The 300 ml format is designed as a complete product, rather than simply filled from a larger bottle.

Taste profile

Melon and pear, a light roundness

Sensory profile

Aromas of melon, pear and strawberry are layered with light nuances of white flowers and citrus.

The texture is round and smooth, with a subtle sense of viscosity, resolving to a clean, light and lingering finish.
