[Koro Wakusei No. 9 Junmai-shu type-C Origarami Muroka Nama Genshu]
A limited-edition sake that sets itself apart from conventional Koro
Though subtle, the aroma, reminiscent of pear, lychee, and grape, gives a very clean impression with the transparency characteristic of No. 9 yeast.
It has a smooth and refined mouthfeel. Some may find it slightly dry due to the effervescence.
The aroma, similar to the initial nose, and a gentle sweetness spread through the mouth. Its appeal also lies in its excellent crisp finish, disappearing smoothly without becoming overly rich.
It is a highly refined sake with excellent balance.
