Senjo Brewery Co. Sake Junmai Daiginjo Nagano Niigata Japan NV

Clear water-white in appearance, this sake displays refined aromas of pear, honeydew, white peach, steamed rice, jasmine, melon, toasted anise, and subtle citrus blossom with delicate mineral undertones. The palate is elegant and layered with flavors of ripe pear, cantaloupe, peach skin, rice cream, soft umami, tart candied lemon, and delicate anise lingering through the finish. Dry with medium acidity, medium body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long finish, the sake is polished and harmonious with a smooth coating mouthfeel balanced by vibrant citrus lift, showing excellent precision, texture, and overall integration characteristic of Junmai Daiginjo style.
