This is the only Japanese sake brewed with Shinriki, a rare strain of rice that is the ancestor of many of today's sake rices. This is a rich, full flavored sake with fresh-cut green grass aromas and hints of tropical fruits with cantaloupe leading by a nose. The mouth feel is silky with mango and baked pear flavors and suggestions of creme brulee, though the sweetness is kind to the palate with excellent acidity leading the way to the finish.
