Our Tasting Notes
Summer in a glass! Green melon, cucumber and a hint of aloe, with a powdered sugar finish, make it a refreshing choice for almost every occasion.

Flavor NotesGreen melon and late summer cucumber with a light powdered sugar finish
Aroma NotesFresh and green! Like standing in a field of melons
The opening note here is...
Green, clean, and refreshing.
Close your eyes and breathe it in, you'll find...
Something between a large cucumber fresh off the vine, and a honeydew melon that is ready to enjoy.
It tastes like the color...
Celadon. That pale, cool green that shows up in prized Japanese pottery from an age long ago.
What lingers is...
A light sweetness, like a light dusting of powdered sugar diluted by time.
This belongs on a table with...
Almost anything! Though I think it would complement more savory dishes.
If you liked this, try...

Light, clean, and pear-forward. The sake that converts skeptics.
