Tasting: This sake features the distinctive freshness of green apple—bright, crisp, and aromatic. As it opens, gentle notes of fresh rice umami gradually expand through the nose. The palate is refreshing with a light, pleasantly dry edge, finishing steady, clean, and composed.

Pairing: Its green apple freshness and lightly dry, crisp profile make it ideal served chilled alongside sashimi, sushi, white fish dishes, seafood, lighter meats, or mildly salty cheeses.
