Professional Review

"You can also detect spiciness and acidity in the aroma of warm, sunny rice and koji. In a narrow-mouthed glass, you will want to enjoy the ever-changing gentle aroma. You can enjoy the refreshing sweetness of chocolate, dried persimmons, apricots and wasanbon, as well as the depth and lingering taste of vintage Madeira, in all situations. It is delicious at all temperatures, from cold to hot sake."

Pairing Suggestion: Poached beef with truffle sauce, tonguefish duglélée, gibier skewers, drooling chicken.

"It has a refreshing yogurt aroma as the main note, accompanied by hints of almond jelly, plum compote, woody fragrance, and a subtle scent reminiscent of steamed skin or grains vinegar. With its low alcohol content, sweetness, and lightness, it leaves a strong impression due to its well-defined and delicate acidity. This sake is beginner-friendly and recommended even for those who are not fond of sake, as it has qualities that make it worth trying. It is best served at a temperature between 5°C and 10°C, using a thin ceramic ochoko (small cup) for an optimal experience."

Pairing Suggestion: It shows potential for pairing with Thai or Indian ethnic cuisine, particularly dishes featuring yogurt, coconut milk, herbs, and chili peppers. In Japanese cuisine, it complements dishes like simmered anago (conger eel) and simmered clams, as well as Edomae-style sushi featuring 'tsume' (a rich, sweet sauce used in sushi).
