Singaporegentle notes of apple and banana/apple skin
Appearance: Clear, pale, lemon-green appearance with viscosity observed. Nose: Sake has clean nose, medium (+) intensity with notes of wood-shavings, fruity/floral (banana skin, apple skin), Ginjo (apple). Palate: Sake is off-dry, with medium (+) umami and acidity, medium level of perceived alcohol, medium (+) body with velvety and creamy texture, and medium (+) flavour intensity with notes of wood-shavings, fruity/floral (banana skin, apple skin), Ginjo (apple). Sake has a crisp finish with notes of wood-shavings and gentle notes of apple and banana/apple skin. Remarks: I like how this sake carries the gentle notes of apple and banana/apple skin despite being a Junmai shu. And this sake certainly pairs with the Wagyu don and Hong Kong style pork rib I had the other day, due to its dryness and umami.
