Tasting notes
Description
To qualify for the koshu classification, sake must be aged for a minimum of 3 years, resulting in a change in colour from pale to golden yellow or amber, and flavour notes reminiscent of Madeira wine and Sherry, with hints of caramel and vanilla…
The Maillard reactions between the sugars and amino acids naturally present in sake explain this evolution throughout the ageing process.
The sake is matured to develop rich, smooth aromas with a sweetness reminiscent of figs, honey, vanilla, and dried fruits.
