Enoki Shuzo Brewery HANAHATO Kijoshu (8yr) "Flowers & Birds" 500ML

This sake has an unsakelike copper color, the result of its extensive aging. Although the rare Koshu style requires three years of aging, Hanahato Kijoshu (sweet koshu) has been aged for a full eight years.

While pleasantly musty, the texture is smooth and viscous, and the taste is sweet and powerful, almost Sauterne-like. Truly a one-of-a-kind sake.
