Princess Michiko was presented by Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom to the current Empress JoOusama, then Crown Princess Michiko, and is said to be a rose with very beautiful contrasting green leaves and reddish-orange petals. This sake seems to be brewed using PM-1, a yeast successfully isolated from the flower by Tokyo University of Agriculture. Both the label and the box have a very elegant design. As for the flavor, the aroma is exactly like pineapple juice! It is fruity, sweet, and juicy. The sourness and a little bitterness in the latter half of the flavor give the impression of a tightening of the overall taste. Pineapple liquor reminds me of Chinese white wine, and to be honest, I have never been a fan of pineapple liquor, but this liquor has a soft pineapple aroma and is very easy to drink and delicious 😄Thank you for the treat!
