Tasting Notes: Fruit-forward with a dry finish due to high alcohol level. The dryness is balanced with slight sweetness and acidity which gives it a juicy full mouthfeel. Shizuku sake or drip-pressed sake is made by suspending the fermented mash in the air and collecting the sake that drips out due to gravity. This pressing method is only used for the most premium lineups of sake in Japan and allows the best flavors of the sake to shine. This sake carries a clean taste with no off flavors or harshness from the alcohol due to the special drip-pressed method used.
