This is a complex sake with a variety of aromatics, rich flavors on the palate, and a nice balance of sweetness, dryness, and acidity. There are lactic aromas of yogurt and sweet butter, grain and rice notes of steamed rice and bran, and aromas of smoke duck, soya sauce, and light caramel. The body is medium and there are nice flavors of dried fruits on the palate. This sake can be served at any temperature.  The aromatics will open up more at room temperature, and the umami components are quite nice when warmed.
