This is such a beautiful, elegant sake with an aromatic nose of soft, ripe melon and lychee and a tinge of citrus. A silky, round palate with a fruity, crisp finish. Founded in 1832, this historic brewery is located on the Tokaido Road where this sake is historically famous for having comforted many weary travelers crossing the Ohi river. Using the Minami Alps soft water and high quality rice, there is a reason why this is one of the best premium sake out there. Best served chilled.
