DESCRIPTION
Enjoy the fruity aroma, refreshing acidity and smooth texture. It is lightly sparkling like champagne. The aroma of pear spread along with the bubble and delivers freshness. When the bubble settles down, it adds the aromas of rice and bread. The flavor of rice and umami remains on your tongue. This sake was made from IWAI rice from a special contract with a Fushimi rice farmer. It has a luxurious and elegant taste.
