Gekkeikan Horin Junmai Daiginjo (30cl, 15.5%)

Horin is a Junmai Daiginjo sake and the long-standing flagship premium brand of Gekkeikan in Japan. Two sake rices, Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku, are blended during brewing. It is made from water, rice and yeast, and has 21 g/L of sugar. The nose is fruity, with green apple, melon and pear, so a wine glass suits it well when served chilled. The flavours are subtle and well balanced, sweet and fruity, and the sake is very smooth with a long, clean finish. It is at 15.5% ABV in a 300ml bottle.
