Category Info: Sake :: Junmai Daiginjo

Brewer / Distiller: Fujii Shuzo Co.

Tasting Notes:

Pretty dark label with pink flowers.
Huge bubble gum nose with cantaloupe and honeydew notes.
Big melon flavor on the front of the palate with a big bubble gum note in the mid-palate.
Very full textured with a long finish of nuts and fruit.
This brewer uses a particular "secret" yeast to make this sake much richer flavored than many made from Yamadanishiki.
