The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Gentle steamed rice, a wisp of toasted nuts, and a clean mineral edge like wet stone.
Palate
Light body, soft and rounded. Sweet rice up front, then a dry snap mid-palate with subtle nuttiness and a chalky mineral note.
Finish
Crisp and dry, medium length, leaving a clean rice and mineral trace.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve chilled or cool, around 50 to 55 degrees, in a small sake cup or a white wine glass to catch the aroma. No ice needed. A splash of water opens the rice sweetness if you like it softer. Keep the bottle sealed and refrigerated after opening; drink within a week or two.
