SAKE SWEETNESS
DESCRIPTION
One of our bestsellers! Featuring sweet nectarine aromas, coupled with melon and cherry flavors with a hint of yuzu peel. Juicy and wide flavor profile, with a complex grainy and velvety texture, crisp smooth finish.
SOMMELIER'S NOTES
Very wine-like. The richness and body of this product totally doesn't feel like a low alcohol sake.

And many more to come. Really hits above it’s price point in many ways than one. Go for it!
Singaporelight with complex flavours
Appearance: Clear, pale, lemon-green appearance with high viscosity observed. Nose: Sake has clean nose, with medium (+) intensity in aroma, in notes of wood shavings, lactic/dairy (fresh cream, yoghurt), Ginjo (pear, apple), spices (white pepper), and fruity/floral (pomelo). Palate: Sake is off-dry, with medium (-) umami and acidity, low level of perceived alcohol, light body with simple texture and medium (+) flavour intensity in notes of wood shavings, lactic/dairy (fresh cream, yoghurt), Ginjo (pear, apple), spices (white pepper), and fruity/floral (pomelo). Sake has a medium finish length and pepper-ish-pomelo aftertaste. Conclusion: Sake is light with complex flavours. For a Kijoshu, the dryness and aftertaste is somewhat unexpected (I would have expected at least medium sweet). It’s very interesting that the 1st and 2nd glasses are drastically different.
SingaporeIt has no right to be this good!
Superb! Reminiscent of Juyondai‘s signature style i kid you not. Save for the rich intensity and that last bit of refinement. At this price point, it’s out of this world. My new favorite affordable sake.
SingaporeA little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Complex flavour. A little sweet, fruity, with a beautiful crisp smooth finish. Enjoy this on its own and you will be impressed.
