Kenzan has an expressive nose, on lactic and fruity notes, orange, and apple. Typical from its category. Nicely round and fruity in the mouth, it becomes smooth and evolves into warm and spicy hints. A pleasant bitterness in the finish of this ultra-popular sake in Ishikawa Prefecture. On the finish, we find again the lactic component, underlined by a marked and pleasant bitterness. Ultra popular in Ishikawa Prefecture, Kenzan is the quintessential thirst sake.
