The skilled sake masters at Gekkeikan have taken fresh spring water and two different types of premium sake rice and transformed them into Horin. Using selected rice polished to 50% of its original size, this ultra-premium "Junmai Daiginjo" sake is slowly fermented at low temperatures to give it a refreshing fruit-like aroma and mild flavour. This sake has a delicate, fruity nose with hints of cantaloupe, honeydew and honeysuckle, as well as a smooth mouth-feel and creamy body, with a long, clean aftertaste containing hints of pear. A quality sake such as this is best served cold with fresh, mild foods.
