Creamy and aromatic, with a sweet and sour taste. This fruity sake is low in alcohol and is exhilarating at first taste. You can also enjoy this sake on the rocks!
SOMMELIER'S NOTES
I find that this sake tastes a bit like Yakult, with a very pleasant lemon sourness. This sake is very popular in Japan, so much that the brewery invested in a automatic koji-making machine specifically for this sake. It uses 3 times the koji of normal sake.

Sommelier's Notes
This sake tastes a bit like Yakult, with a very pleasant lemon sourness. This sake is very popular in Japan, so much that the brewery invested in a automatic koji-making machine specifically for this sake. It uses 3 times the koji of normal sake.
Background:
Using three times the usual koji in its fermentation process results in a refreshing saké with a sweet and sour taste that is creamy with a touch of acidity and yeast. It has a cloudy appearance and fruity aroma of citrus, much like fermented milk drinks. A winner of the 2016 International Wine Challenge Commendation Award, this low-alcohol saké is best enjoyed on the rocks, and is a delicious compliment to rich, spicy foods.
