$69.99
This sake (or wine) greets you with a vibrant aromatic profile on the first nose, where ripe banana, fresh apple, and juicy apricot create an inviting and fruity introduction. As it opens up, the complexity deepens with creamy almond milk, sweet muscat, and light pineapple, joined by refreshing notes of melon, citrus, and a hint of orange zest.
On the palate, this sake (or wine) offers a harmonious blend of flavors. The initial burst of citrus provides a bright and zesty start, which is quickly followed by a spicy, peppery kick that adds an exciting edge. The creamy texture, echoing the almond milk from the nose, envelops the taste buds, bringing together the lively fruitiness and subtle spiciness in a well-balanced, satisfying finish.
The food pairings provided for Michizakura Junmai Ginjo SS 55 align well with the sake’s flavor profile.
