Walks the line between sweet and dry
This sake is "umakuchi," which is a perfect balance between sweet and dry with layers of umami. The Yamadanishiki used for this sake was grown right outside of the brewery, about ten paces by foot. With juicy grapefruit and grassy aromas, this sake is perfect for sauvignon blanc drinkers.characteristics
