Light in body, yet full of flavour, this is an excellent introduction to Japanese whisky. Elegantly fruity with sherry-cask character.Firm, lively. Malted barley is at the heart of the palate, coated in herbaceous, liquorice, spiced (ginger, cinnamon) and chocolate tones. Very elegant, the mid-palate also delivers plenty of energy and as it draws to a close, fresh tobacco leaves and coconut intertwine to create a natural symphony of aromas. The finish is long, soft. It evokes the scent of wilted roses. Fine tannins balance its tangy character (lemon, grapefruit). It lingers on notes of tobacco, spices (cardamom, ginger), toasted nuts and stewed fruits (apple, damson). The final nose reveals exotic notes (lychee).

Classic example of Nada style sake due to their hard water. Lots of stone fruit aromas, dry with good acidity to finish. Try with anything from fish and chips to chicken schnitzel.

Fermented at very low temperatures, this is a beautifully balanced sake with aromas of Apricots and steamed rice. Great with griled pork or ocean trout and mash potato
