Pure. Nuanced. Aromatic
This sake is crafted based on the ideals of Zen Buddhism and "wabi-sabi," the belief that beauty within the arts should be as understated and pure as a simple strand of pearls.
SAKE OVERVIEW
The epitome of purity, this sake is more subtle and nuanced than most highly aromatic Junmai Daiginjos.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of white flower and Asian pear followed by clean flavors of honeydew, lemon, and a hint of licorice. Finishes elegantly with rich minerality and rice texture.
EAT WITH
Enjoy on its own or with scallops, pork and other light meats.
