Using the very center of the grain makes sake with a vibrant texture, depth, clarity, and evolving flavors. Luscious and enveloping flavor, the full expressive qualities of Yamada Nishiki rice bring out notes of tropical fruit, but with a hauntingly elusive finish. Much more expressive and bold than the gentle textures of Absolute 0.
