40% 🌾 (100% Saito no Shizuku)
Junmai Daiginjo-shu with a very strong aroma component. It is rich in ethyl caproate, which is described as green apple-like, but beyond that, it goes so far as to make the nose tingle.
The coloring is strong and the flavor seems quite robust. The sweetness and acidity of pears and green apples, and the freshness of young plants and trees are well rounded out by the umami of the rice.
This is a delicate and impressive sake that is hard to find in beverage stores. It is best enjoyed slowly, chilled in a refrigerator.
