From Hanaabi's summit line, The Premium, here's the origarami version made with Yamada Nishiki rice. The rich, sweet fragrance is still very much alive. The tropical-fruit character — by far the strongest in the sake world — carries a more refined flavour than The Match. One sip, and the concentrated sweetness rises smoothly, like a hawk riding an updraft, before settling gently into the body as a lingering aftertaste. What stands out is just how smooth the mouthfeel is, from the very first note all the way through the finish.
