2024 Review coming soon.....!   The nose on this single pasteurized seasonally released fall draft sake is a gentle collection of cinnamon pastry, Asian pear, sesame, crushed leaves, banana bread, nuts, and mineral water aromas. Say hello to the most elegant of the Hiyaoroshi sakes thus far this year. Always a super fan favorite, this year’s version drinks with an even more classiness and eloquent nature that would appeal to those looking for a softer and more gentle “Ginjo-like” experience in their seasonal sake. Clean, light, slippery, and crisp, this Masumi has an elevated and nicely balanced acidity play that would appeal to wine drinkers. Look for sesame, Corn Pops™, wheat toast, powdered sugar, crème brulée, candy shell, mineral water, and flinty flavors that drink easy and elegant. A touch of savoriness and a tease of umami that expands in a wine glass. WORD: Elegant WINE: Gentle Reds/Flinty Whites BEER: Belgian Ales FOODS: Sushi and sashimi, crab, lobster, sweet shrimp and Champagne fare.
