Sommelier's comments

The moment you put it in your mouth, you'll be greeted with a refined acidity and the rich aroma of banana, caramel, and oak that is unique to aged sake. It's also sweet enough, with a refreshing plum-like flavor that lingers on your palate. The acidity is excellent and it's crisp.
