Hanzo Tokubetsu Junmai 720ml
The palate is mandarin and pear with very well integrated acidity.
When warmed, the mandarin becomes softer, you can taste more umami and it becomes richer in weight. You can also taste additional notes of citrus peel.
It's quite obvious why it won the Gold Medal at the Slow Food Japan Hot Sake Award 2014 and IWC Gold Medal 2020 and Gold Medal at Fine Sake Awards in 2022.
Enjoy this sake cold (about 15℃) and enjoy the cleansing acidity and heightened fruit characteristics but it also remains one of our favourite sake to drink warm (45℃).
