With aromas of violet, strawberry, pear and Muscat grape governing the nose, complex flavors of licorice, mint and pears emphasize the semi-dry impact of this medium-bodied sake. Though the acidity is clean and bright, gentle licorice sweetness takes it all the way to the lengthy finish.
This sake is brewed in Japan's oldest active brewery, Sudo Honke (founded in 1141 AD) and the brewery President is the 55th-generation owner. They only brew Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo grade sake at Sudo Honke.
