Most aged sake (koshu) is sweet but this is bone dry from the nutrient rich fermentation. There’s nice acidity even on the nose. Look for salted key lime pie amid the caramel and nuts. The palate features complex amino acids from the cold lactic fermentation (Kimoto). Adding to the fun is cult Aramasa yeast #6 and 7 years aging in 1800ml bottles. On the dry finish you can really taste the ocean water. Beguiling!
