Robust flavors for robust people
This sake won gold three consecutive years at the U.S. National Sake Appraisal. Its subtle melon aroma leads to a perfect balance between sweet and dry. The robust flavors will have you pouring a second glass to taste its complexity. Serving it lukewarm brings out the nuance of the drink, and pairing with grilled fish or sashimi can add a fun layer to the flavor.

Customer reviews
This one matched the tasting notes, it starts with a soft melon-like sweetness and moves to a nice umami finish. It is a good overall sip. Though, maybe I am just starting to better understand the taste profile that I enjoy with sake, as this bottle was fine and I had no real criticism, but it seemed to come up just a little short of being outstanding. It could also be that I enjoy drinking sake on its own and this may really shine when paired with the right food.
One of my favorites so far.
Lukewarm it paired nicely with sashimi. Really a great flavor and nice bottle!
Had it warm and was perfect paired with tacos or on its own.
Perfect flavor combination
Full of Umami flavors. A very versatile Sake. Although on the label is is suggested to be refrigerated, I drank it at room temperature and found it wonderful.
Great value. Melon and Umami. I drank it with salmon casserole and it was fantastic. I drank it at room temperature and found it perfect in bringing out the flavors.
Melony nose to this sake. I found it paired great with pork.
