Manotsuru “Crane” Junmai Mini

$18

The red crane is a symbol of good luck. This is a junmai sake, which means it is pure rice sake (no alcohol was added). An elegant, slightly earthy sake with notes of stone fruit, pistachios, and white chocolate. A great all-around sake, it goes well with a wide range of foods. AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AS PART OF THE SUMMER SAKE TASTING KIT

Very nice at a slightly cooler room temp as suggested, Loosely reminded me of a whiskey but less aggressive
