Nice clear visibility on the pour with a powerful and interesting nose of floral blossoms, soft fruits, sweet koji, roasted brazil nuts and a splash of white chocolate. The impact is balanced; full bodied with palate of zesty mineral notes and nuts, Edam and summer fruits on the front followed by a tail of light sweetness and lower acidity. This is great sake with high levels of umami. Has a balanced and complex, long finish that is very unique, making this a great find. Score: 91 (Michael Pataran, www.WineAlign.com, Jun 2012)
