Description
REI presents with a hint of white flowers, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. In the mouth, this sake is smooth and lightly creamy—its savoriness increasing as the sake warms gradually in the glass. Delightlful fruit and floral notes of this daiginjo make it a delicious all-occasion drink. More so than a typical daiginjo sake, the soft and full body character of REI Junmai DaiGinjo opens it to a wider variety of food pairing.

Immediately after taking a sip, it felt drier and more alcoholic than expected. However, as you continue drinking, the fruity aroma gradually emerges, making it very enjoyable.
