Detailed tasting notes : Hyakushun Minonishiki is one of Kosaka Shuzojo's finest sakes. It is bottled straight from the vat, so there is no maturation (Jikagumi), and no charcoal filtration (Muroka). Slightly pearlescent, the flavours are lively on the palate, with a strong impact. A tasty, aromatic sake, with notes of sweet, juicy tropical fruit. Well-balanced and incredibly fresh.

Tasting advice : Very aromatic with sweet and juicy tropical fruits taste. It is very unique and characteristic sake but well balanced at the same time. It will be good for aperitif and with spicy or rich taste plates (teriyaki sauce, cream or cheese) also.
