Daruma Masamune 5 Year Old Koshu 180ml

A 5 year old koshu with an enticing medium amber colour and a mesmerising nose of dried apricot, bone broth, and honey. Rich umami dominates the very well-balanced palate of coffee, deep caramel, brazil nut and dried banana. The texture is chewy with an easygoing finish. Surprisingly easy to drink.

Daruma Masamune are held in very high regard in the sake world when it come to rich styles of aged sake. They brew sake that is high in umami, amino acid and sweetness and then age in both bottle and large storage tanks at the ambient temperature of the brewery. The temperature fluctuates from near freezing in winter to about 26 degrees celsius in summer and it’s these special conditions that help create the rich and unctuous style of sake that Daruma is reknowned for.
