General comment
This sake has a fresh fruits aroma and a young and rich taste, so we recommend the cold(8〜12℃) sake or the medium- cold(15〜18℃)sake. A small-size wine glass for tha cold sake and a regular-size wine glass for the medium-cold sake. The rich aromas will spread much more as you swalll the glass.
