Sommelier's comments

This Junmai Ginjo sake was brewed in the year the previous master brewer was awarded the Outstanding Skilled Worker Award. Aged for over 20 years, it has a fragrant nutty aroma and a sweet taste like ripe yellow peach. It is a dry, matured sake with a full-bodied taste reminiscent of sherry.
