Yukikage Snow Shadow Tokubetsu Junmai Sake

As a junmai-shu, this sake is made only with water, rice, koji, and yeast (i.e. no added distilled alcohol to enhance flavor/aroma). The designation of Tokubetsu means in the most general sense that this is a “special” product to the brewer. This is made with a fairly high polish rate (58%) of Gohyakumangoku and koshiibuki rice. The aroma is very light, with hints of vanilla, rice, banana, and anise. The taste is very clean and dry – starting with a slightly sour presentation and transitioning to a mildly sweet smooth finish. The texture is light and watery.  14.5% ABV
