100% Yamadanishiki rice grown in Hyogo Prefecture.  Polished to 60%.  Very pale, silvery-gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is light with a yeasty note with slight banana.  On the palate, juicy fruit gum with slight minty note.  Dry finish with umami and a slight bitter note.  Very interesting and tasty.  300ML bottle.

I don't drink much Sake, but let's try to review it.  Silvery/gold in color.  The nose has golden raisins which is interesting since grape wines rarely have grape notes in it.  On the palate, there are green apples and a non-sweet honey (if that is a thing).  It has a semi-lush texture which is interesting.  This was from a 750ml bottle that was screw capped.  It kept getting better with air.  Served at around 55F.
