Yamashiroya "Special Class"
This Junmai Daiginjo Kimoto "Special Class sake represents the spirit of “wabi-sabi” with layers of creamy yogurt textures and citrus notes. Sip through and taste rice and umami notes. An ultra-premium sake, the koshitanrei sake rice is polished to a mere 30% bringing out the purity of the grain. Nose of pear and melon with pear moving through the palate. Crisp and medium dry but soft and clean with an umami aftertaste
