A clear sake, with light silver reflections. The nose is delicate and fresh immediately evoking flowers and fruits, yellow melon, white peach, and pear. In the mouth, a beautiful aromatic power is expressed on notes of juicy fruits, and grassy notes of pine resin and heather, all on a silky and relatively sweet background. It remains lively and very thirsty. thanks to good acidity. A remarkably balanced Junmai Ginjo. The finish is fresh and long. On a touch of bitterness, we find the liveliness of fruits and nice citrus zest notes.
