Three words that describe this sake are...

Light, easy, everyday.

Close your eyes and breathe it in, you'll find...

Something that doesn't quite match the rest of the sake. Fresh sweet milk and a delicate night-blooming flower. Lovely, quiet, and a shift from the fruity taste.

The kind of evening this was made for...

Cocktails at a new place. Ever tried a Sake Gimlet or French 75? The night-blooming flower aroma and crisp acidity in this sake can do similar work to what botanicals do in gin. But lower alcohol!

What surprised me most was...

The aroma vs. what the palate tasted. From floral to fruity, smell to sip.

Pour this for someone who...

Needs a great gateway sake or gateway sake cocktail!
