Additionally, by performing kanjuku - a seasonal sake aging technique - with time the fruity character, richness of texture, and depth of flavor are all brought into balance, all while preserving soft peach, pear, apple and citron aromas, and emphasizing the deliciously tart and crisp, white wine-like finish.
