N-888 - Junmai sake from Niigata
Description

Brewed with 100% Koshitanrei rice polished to 50%, N-888 earned its name from being the 888th trial batch before the brewers achieved their ideal flavor. The unfiltered raw sake delivers a rich, fruity aroma of banana and mango alongside a lively palate of strawberry and lychee, an unusual combination of heavy fragrance and light-footed taste.
