Wine Tasting Notes At room temperature, this premium junmai sake offers a balance of subtle fruit and dry grains. Aromas include yellow apple, wheat bread, and dry oatmeal. Flavors are Asian pear, oatmeal, spice and a touch of salt. When warm, the savory attributes are amplified. Scents of buckwheat, mushroom, spice, and damp, forest floor lead into flavors of bran muffin with walnuts, brown banana, mineral, and salt.
