A poised, precise sake with a refined, linear style that carries seamlessly from first impression through a long, lingering finish. The nose is deeply coherent and expressive, opening with pear and plum alongside green foliage, toasted rice, nori seaweed, and subtle cacao for both freshness and depth. Slightly drier than Assemblage 5, the palate is sleek and balanced, layering fruit, floral, and marine notes with hints of buttery brioche and a tactile, resonant close.
