Impression Mature sake with complex aroma
This is a luxurious sake made by aging junmai daiginjo in wine barrels.
The nose has a complex ginjo aroma with a slight hint of vanilla from the barrel.
The taste is balanced and soft, with a sense of volume perhaps due to the aging process. It has a unique Nara-zuke (pickles) flavor. I did not detect any oak-derived tannins.
Repeat Score 1.5
