Kanbara “The Bride of the Fox” Sake

The color is clear, with just the slightest hint of straw. Green grapes and kiwi show on an intensely fruity nose. On the palate green grapes and pistachio give way to white pepper and cocoa. Clean and round, with a smooth mouth feel, this would pair well with stone crab. 90 points. DBH
