Tasting Notes: The highest quality (tokujou) Yamadanishiki is polished to 35% and the mash is fermented at low temperatures over an extended period of time using small-batch koji rice (futa koji). Only the best parts of the pressed sake are selected (nakadori), bottled, pasteurized, and matured at a very low temperature. The nose on this sake is reminiscent of forest air: clear, fresh, and frosty. Aromatic notes of grapes, pears, and dewy bamboo. The lively full flavors and textures from the in-bottle pasteurization are balanced well with the acidity. Enjoy the delicious flavor of Akitsu's high quality Yamadanishiki rice alongside notes of fruit, marzipan, and cocoa powder.
