Hakutsuru Sho-une Junmai Daiginjo Sake

20150718:
This sake had a fresh taste to it, though slightly interrupted by the aftertaste of edamame (appetizer at Gesshin).

Unfortunately, since I don't drink sake on a regular basis, I was at lost on the drink's finer qualities. But as implied in my Hakutsuru Sayuri Nigori Sake post, the experience is in the attempt.
