Chikurin - Karoyaka Size:720 ml Choya “Plum Wine” (with fruit)Who better to brew sake than rice farmers themselves? Theyve got the knowledge to produce some wondrous sake, such as this aptly named brew, Karoyaka, which means lightness. A shining expression of mochi sweetness followed up by cheeky cherry notes on the finish. On the nose, classic ricey and floral aromas. The depth contained in such light sake is surprising, and makes us wish we had bottle of this on hand every day.
