Description: Made with the most expensive brewing rice in Japan this sake has a nose filled with strawberry, vanilla, cream, and honeydew elements. Round and creamy behold a sake that redefines smooth with a world-class finish. This super soft Dai Ginjo has hints of strawberry and cream flavors that are balanced very well and drink more rich than sweet. Velvety, plump, and succulent there is so much going on but the overall feeling is smooth as silk. The calmness of the brew does far better chilled. A very good gift giving sake.
