Sommelier's comments

A long-aged Yamahai Junmai sake. When poured into a wine glass, it has a beautiful golden color. It is characterized by a refreshing taste reminiscent of Japanese citrus fruits and a gorgeous herbal aroma. A rare aged sake that allows you to enjoy the rich fruitiness, crisp acidity, and minerality.
