Tasting Notes

This remarkable Junmai Daiginjo opens with an exquisite, aromatic bouquet of fragrant summer flowers, elegantly interwoven with bright hints of fresh tropical fruit and citrus. On the palate, it reveals a remarkably smooth, full-bodied texture enriched with crisp apple flavors and a deeply layered richness. Uncharacteristically robust for a Daiginjo, it maintains a beautiful structural elegance and a clean, slightly dry finish that lingers gracefully.
