Nose: Sake has clean nose, with medium (+) intensity in aroma, in notes of Lactic/Dairy (Fresh cream, yoghurt, sour cream), and Ginjo (melon, pear, apple). Palate: Sake is medium sweet, with medium umami and acidity, medium level of perceived alcohol, medium body with velvety texture and medium (+) flavour intensity in notes of Ginjo (melon, pear, apple), and Lactic/Dairy (Fresh cream, yoghurt, sour cream). Sake has a medium finish length, with Ginjo notes more apparent than Lactic/Dairy notes on the palate, as compared to the nose.
