Tasting notes
A special project by Imayo Tsukasa with this sake produced in Kioke Jikomi, Japanese cedar wood casks. It is made during the coldest period of the year, from the end of January, and the barrels are used exclusively for its production. The idea is to control the impact of the cask. The challenge was met, as the aromas of cedar work to the sake's advantage. The nose has discreet woody notes and scents of resin. The palate is rich, with pronounced umami and a long finish. Imayo Tsukasa's clear, delicate style is wonderfully reproduced in this light, mouth-watering sake.
