Made using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice and milled down to 70%, the 'Tokubetsu (special)' pure rice Sake was prepared with spring water from Fushimi, Kyoto. It has a refreshing nose of pear blossom and a touch of citrus. Pure and fresh on the palate, with lovely level of acidity to balance the ripe peach and steamed rice flavours, followed by a umami-rich finish.
