Haneya MOONLIGHT BEAUTY OMACHI No.10 Limited Nama Rating 4.3 This is indeed a beautiful sake that combines a delicate balance based on Omachi and No. 10 yeast. From the top, the aroma is thin and gradually spreads to a fresh white grape-like aroma that is typical of No. 10 yeast (Ogawa yeast). In the middle, there is a thin but surely tropical fruitiness of Omachi. From the bottom, gas and acidity come up to tighten the flavor. The taste is like "apricot pudding" with a long, beautiful sweetness that lingers. It has a raw and mild taste. It is a pity that it has a spicy and bitter taste.
