Tasting Notes: Using Kiku-Masamune's newly developed sake yeast HA14 lends this sake the fragrant aroma of fruits and flowers - enticing ripe banana and cantaloupe with bright sweet honey-crisp apples. Fruity, textured, round and smooth this light yet umami-rich Junmai grade finishes with a lingering umami and is a major crowd pleaser. Serve chilled for best results.
