Banjo Jozo Co. Ltd (Aichi – Japan) – Kamoshibito Kuheiji – 16% alc

The saké is transparent with some silver reflects. The nose is intense with some complex aromas of fruits (pineapple, apple) but also some spices (anis seed), rice pudding and even a salty sea breeze note. The attack is slightly fizzy. The mouth is very well balanced with pronounced aromas: it’s an explosion of pineapple, cooked rice, peach, lime fruits, chestnut and also mint. It’s very complex, powerful and the fat texture is amazing. You have waves of aromas and textures coming: from sweetness to slight acidity, a hint of bitterness to finally beautiful umami. The finish is very long with some saltiness. It’s a big saké.
