Shimeharitsuru Tsuki Honjozo Asahi Shuzo cooked apple tart

cooked apple tart

and other thicker desserts

and rarely do I smile when writing a review

And a wine glass brings the best balance with berries

A very drinkable dry sake that has an appealing dryness

Shimeharitsuru Tsuki Honjozo Asahi Shuzo cooked apple tartThe nose on this extremely cool Niigata sake is a gentle collection of steamed rice, vanilla, mint, hay, toast, and nougat aromas. Stop the presses! This is one of those "Bucket List" brews that every sake drinker on their sake path should try that is void of the word fruit! There are no fruity aromas, and there are no fruity flavors. Huh? Doesn't that just mean dry ricey sake? Nope, it means clean, smooth, soft, creamy, silky, easy, and gentle sake
