The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Quiet and clean, with steamed rice, a whisper of honeydew melon, and a faint toasted nut edge that stays in the background.
Palate
Soft, rounded texture with gentle rice sweetness up front, then a dry snap mid-palate. Light melon and a subtle earthy nuttiness keep it savory, not cloying. Low acidity, smooth body.
Finish
Crisp and dry, fading cleanly with a last trace of rice and a faint nutty echo. Moderate length.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Chill it to about 50 to 55 degrees for a crisp, clean pour, or warm gently to around 105 degrees to draw out the rice sweetness. Use a small sake cup or a white wine glass. No ice, no water. Tip: warm it in a water bath, not the microwave, and never let it steam.
