Akitabare Spring Snow Sake 12/720 - JS1053

Clearly led by their motto “Fierce adherence to tradition, skillful adaptation to change” the Akita Brewing Company is located in northwestern Honshu and makes this exceptional sake in the Sannai Toji style whose rule is subtlety. Light and dry, this is elegance incarnate with a mild balsam aroma that lends a whole new dimension to the floral fragrance. Mild starchy texture on the palate, this sake is nimble and gentle with a sophisticated yet soft spoken finish.
