Banana and yoghurt jump out the glass of this sake. Light and fresh, with cream, some fresh nuts and cheese also accenting the nose.
The palate is slightly more junmai-esque, with rice coming through, followed by umami of grilled shiitake mushrooms. Acidity is surprisingly mellow, and the palate quickly melts away to leave an umami-led dryness across the tongue. Short finish with a hint of astringency.
When warmed the palate fills out very nicely, with a longer finish.
