Saika Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki Japanese Sake (16%), 720ml!

Saika Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki is a premium Japanese sake known for its refined and delicate flavour profile. This sake is crafted using Yamadanishiki rice, often referred to as the 'king of sake rice', which gives it a unique character. The flavour is clean and crisp, with subtle notes of melon, pear and apple. There's a gentle sweetness that is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, making each sip smooth and pleasurable. The texture of this sake is silky and elegant, with a slightly dry finish that leaves a lingering impression on the palate. The 16% alcohol content provides a pleasant warmth without overpowering the subtle flavours, making it an exquisite choice for those who appreciate the art of sake brewing.
