Tasting Notes

Shari Diamond delivers an exceptionally clear and refined Junmai Daiginjo expression, built around precision and transparency. The aroma is elegant and focused, offering notes of fresh pear, apple skin, and subtle white florals, followed by a quiet rice-driven purity. On the palate, the texture is smooth and finely polished, with gentle sweetness framed by bright acidity. The finish is clean, dry-leaning, and quietly persistent, leaving a crisp, mineral impression that feels both modern and restrained.

Why is it called "Shari"? Unlike most premium sakes that use specific sake rice (sakamai), this masterpiece uses Koshihikari (table rice). The result is a groundbreaking flavor profile that is sweeter and more acidic, resembling a fine white wine.

Best enjoyed well chilled to showcase its clean structure and refined aromatics, Shari Diamond is especially well-suited to delicate cuisine where balance and restraint are essential.
