The soft water of Fukui, combined with the robust Kokuryu brewing style, produces a sake that is well-rounded, gently aromatic and surprisingly incisive. This is a classic daiginjo sake, first introduced in 1975.
A delightful nose filled with blackberries, pineapple, purple grapes and Red Vines. Another extremely well balanced sake with hints of light honey and tea flavors. A unique dryness emerges with each sip and the overall feeling is a slide of gentle flavors.
The nose on this elegant Junmai is a collection of roasted rice, grains, nuts, leather and hint of citrus aromas. Behold a very complex yet drinkable Junmai that is supremely smooth but loaded with semi-rich flavors on many levels. Very gentle this silky brew has hints of nougat, cocoa, roasted rice, and tingle of caramel. But rice is the main vein of this smooth and grainy sake that is medium-bodied and very drinkable. It is rich, but more like a rich-light, which makes it all the more appealing for a second glass. A mid-sized glass makes more body, and a smaller glass brings out more rich sweetness.
