Description: This is a terrific value Daiginjo as it gives a
drinker the chance to taste a real player in the history of Japanese sake. The
nose on Chobei is pure strawberry and candy goodness. This sake has a relaxed and smooth honeydew
melon start with a thin and round finish. The middle-mouth is filled with ripe
melon flavors and a sweetness that isnt sweet. Go figure! The viscosity is
thin and round and the mouth speed is velvety and quick, and the ending is a
waterfall of flavor.
