Hakuto Tokubetsu Junmai "Deep Faith" Size:720mlThe nose on this brew that is made by a husband and wife brewing duo is a very interesting collection of honey roasted nuts, grains, pancakes, breakfast cereal and hay aromas. This is a real treat to the Junmai category that has lots of rich, savory, and full bodied flavors, but is also elegant with an attitude that celebrates the ricey umami side of flavorful sake. Smooth, rich, with a little brightness in acidity, there are layers of very unique
and a touch of cream aromas

A very balanced and tasty Yamahai that is solid and richly confident
