This red sake owes its reddish, almost raspberry color to an ancient strain of whole-grain Akamai (red rice) used in its composition. This unique sake offers an impressive array of aromas: black grape, cherry, fig, pomegranate, wild strawberry, cherry, spices, honey, roasted rice, blackberry-raspberry. Sweetness on the nose is surprising, and blends perfectly with the bright, lively old-red color. Palate is a real discovery, with notes of ripe sweetness, acidity, astringency and roundness.
