In three words: Sleek refined and delicate
A collaboration between acclaimed French cellar master, Regis Camus, and Asahi Shuzo (of Dassai fame), this premium sake is a knock-out on every level. The striking sleek black bottle contains a clean low-acid and floral daiginjo that stands out on any table. A classic ginjo aroma of apple and tropical fruit is followed by fresh berries and grapes, developing into a clean crisp finish. C'est magnifique!
