This sake is brewed by the Kimura Brewery, also from my home prefecture of Akita. It is a very well-balanced sake and has the sweet aromas of Japanese apples, pears, and even bit of vanilla ice cream! The palate is light and smooth but also very flavorful. It is a reasonably priced Daiginjo. In New York City, you can enjoy this special sake at my favorite sushi place, Sasabune, and Sakagura Restaurant, where I work.
