A forbidden aroma where ripe apples and honey intertwine.

This luxurious and ambitious sake is made from a rich, undiluted sake using "Sanbai Koji (X3)," which has three times the amount of koji as usual, and then aged in old barrels previously used for Calvados, a French apple brandy. The aroma of ripe apples, honey, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon-like spice gently stimulates the senses.

The texture is surprisingly rich and silky smooth. The layered richness that unfolds from the mid-palate gives the illusion of savoring a fine dessert wine or a premium brandy. Enjoy a blissful moment that vividly transcends the conventional notions of sake.
