Sakura Label

小左衛門 桜ラベル

This sake is only available once a year in the Spring. Roughly filtered leaving some ‘ori’ lees left which gives it a layer of texture and bright hints of melon and Asian pear. This nama sake has a slight grapefruit pith bitterness on the nose but this is more prevalent on the palate with a gamey wildness. It has good weight and is not overwhelming in richness.  As it warms up, the elements are cohesive with bold aromatics and good acidity to support this sake.
