Juyondai Honmaru Hiden Tamagaeshi 2023

Born from the concept of high-quality sake at an accessible price, this is Juyondai's signature sake. The listed price is reasonable, but the bottle itself is hard to come by. A sake with clean, pure fruit character, marked by nuances of apple and melon along with the freshness of sour cream and mint. The standard Honmaru, bursting with rich sweetness and umami, is wonderful in its own right, but this release — standing out for its brilliance and refreshing coolness — is something special.
