Background: Takara Sake USA is a subsidiary of Takara Group, a Japanese company that has produced sake for more than 150 years. They produce various styles of sake at their facility in Berkeley, California; this one is ginjo-shu, which means that the rice used to produce this sake is milled to around 50% its original weight. 15% ABV
Presentation: 300 ml, clear glass screwtop bottle, lightly frosted. Very pretty. Pours clear.
Nose: Fruity aroma, mainly apple.
Taste: Dry, very balanced taste. Apples and melon in the palate, short sweetish finish.
Overall: Very nice accompaniment to many foods; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
