Tasting Notes from Sake School of America Specialist:

Soft and refreshing scents of young citrus, yellow apple, and nuances of melon and banana set the scene of an idyllic summer day. Gently sweet with light umami, rounded soft acidity, and a pleasant bitterness that pairs perfectly with vegetables and dashi-based dishes. Compared to Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute’s other flagship products, the flavor of this sake is milder and more transparent, sporting hints of Asian pear, bitter greens, and green tea. Crisp, clean, and dry like the summer sky.
