Narutotai Junmai Ginjo "Tomoe"

The nose on this very professional Ginjo sake is a wonderful collection of honeydew, white flower, apple, pear, cucumber, and tonic water aromas. Behold, a sake that drinks like a very focused laser that is not only clean, silky, and slick, but refreshing and elegant as well. It is that cool combination of being viscous and juicy, but still super smooth and clean, with an impressive dry finish. Look for young pear, dried apricot, watermelon, cucumber, Muscat, persimmon, and young strawberry flavors, with a very cool vein of umami that rides the laser throughout that dry and clean sip. Dry sake drinkers will love this brew for its Martini like attitude, and clean refreshing build.
