An explosive twist on classic taste

Pours clear, but with a faint silvery cast. The aroma is a surprisingly smooth mix of ripe pineapple, anise, and apple, which blends deftly with the medium-to-full body taste. The creamy, vanilla flavor is supported by a subtle praline hint that ends in an almost spicy finish. The explosive flavor got this sake a gold medal in the 2015 BTI World Wine Championships.
