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

It depends on how you serve it. Chilled it's clean and sweet. Atsukan and it's warm macadamia and spice. Both worth finding.

Somewhere between the first sip and the last...

The flavor reveals itself slowly. Mellow at the door, then more at every turn until the spice grabs the finish and holds.

The finish drifts out like...

Curry—not in flavor, but in that way where you know you had it even after it's gone. The hint of spice finds a corner and stays.

The kind of evening this was made for...

Any! No occasion needed to enjoy this futsushu.

Three words that describe this sake are...

Playful. Everyday. Familiar.
