Tasting Notes/Food Pairing:
This mellow and round sake reveals cacao powder notes and sandalwood bouquet on the nose. Soft on the palate with gentle acidity that puts the accent on the light spice of white pepper and cedar-like flavors, the finish is clean but encompassing. The overall dryness of this sake calls for food.

Press:
88 Points, Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar, 2007
"Very pale straw-yellow. Saline aromas of squash and white pepper. Suave on entry, then spicy and distinctly firm-edged, even tight, in the middle palate, with a juicy, spicy character and rather subdued flavors. I find this less pliant than most of these examples yet still nicely fine-grained and high-pitched. Made from natural spring water rich in minerals."
