Tasting notes
Sayori, “garfish”, is a Nakadori Junmaï. Naka means middle and dori means take, we only retain the liquid that flows by gravity, after the first juice and just before the pressing action. This sake is characterized by a nice tension and a minerality that is expressed immediately with a lively, almost anise nose. In the mouth, iodine notes predominate, even if the structure remains supple and creamy. The finish is long on subtle aromas of dried fruits, a beautiful bitterness and nice hints of acidity. An easy-to-drink, thirst-quenching sake where the quality of the spring water really stands out.
