This blended sake brings together the elegant rice aroma of Koko and the smooth texture of Yamada Nishiki, resulting in the following flavor profile: notes of green apple and white peach are layered with rice aroma and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it is soft and smooth, with moderate acidity and a subtle effervescence that enhances its refreshing character. The finish includes a faint bitterness, adding depth and complexity to the overall experience.
It pairs well with light dishes such as sashimi, white fish, and cold appetizers, and is especially enjoyable during the spring and summer seasons.
