TASTING NOTES: Colour: Amber Aroma: The scent is authentically evocative of warm cooked rice underneath subtle fruity notes Taste: A smooth texture and dry taste similar to what to the scent alludes. Sake is traditionally served warm but can also be poured over ice. It is best paired alongside Japanese cuisine such as sashimi, teriyaki, and sushi. Best enjoyed young as it does not necessarily improve with age. PRODUCER: Choya was founded by the Koya family in 1914.
