Flavor & fragrance profile

Master brewer's comments

This reminds me of the daiginjo sake we were making a generation ago. It is clean, light, and easy to drink. Since we don't enter it in competitions, we can strike a more natural balance between fragrance and flavor, and simply aim for a delicious sake that is meant to be drunk.
