KAGURA BLACK Sake Junmai Daiginjo 720ml

The top of the Kagura range, sake made from "Yamada Nishiki" rice. The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of rice, green apple and anise, accompanied by a slight creamy side. The second nose opens with a lot of freshness and minerality. It's delicate. The palate is slightly sparkling on the attack with a lovely roundness. There are notes of tangy apple but especially of flowers. There is still a nice freshness and a discreet umami in the mid-palate. The finish is sweet, floral, almond and there is a dynamic hint of white pepper and lovely bitters. The tasty finish is long with almond and peach kernel notes. It is unclarified, undiluted, and pasteurized only once directly in the bottle for maximum aroma and freshness. ­ Kagura is produced by the prestigious Matsui House, located in the heart of Kyoto and rich in three centuries of history.
