This sake features a unique aroma profile with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, walnut, and a hint of honey. Its smooth and soft texture carries a pleasing balance of richness and depth, with a touch of dryness that leaves a clean, grain-like finish.
It is ideal for pairing with flavorful dishes such as grilled sanma, katsuo, matsutake mushroom broth, or crispy fried chicken and also complements spiced cuisine. Serve chilled to enhance its acidity, or enjoy it at room temperature or slightly warmed (around 40°C) to bring out its umami and achieve a harmonious synergy with your meal.
