Yoigokochi Chikumanishiki Kizan Sake (72cl)

This is a Japanese sake made from Chikumanishiki rice and fermented with close attention. The name Kizan refers to sacred mountains. It is matured in ceramic vessels, which keeps its aromatic detail and gives a soft, enveloping texture. The nose is delicately floral, with light apple and pear. On the palate a gentle sweetness is balanced by fresh acidity, ending in a slightly umami finish.
