This sake, offers a fascinating insight into the ancestry of the famed Yamadanishiki Rice varietal.

CROSS + is a reference to the blend of both the FATHER & MOTHER of Yamadanishiki; Wataribune & Yamadabo. These two ancient heirloom varietals, with distinct personalities, add to the layered complexity of this intriguing blend.

Once extinct & revived 3 decades back, Wataribune offers exuberant flavours while Yamadabo, balances & reigns in the fruit-foward notes with its elegant umami & unpretentious rusticity.

Top note aromas of mangos & apples with a hint of cedar. On the palate, unctuous & silky with a mildly spicy finish. Truly exhilarating.

そして、2種の個性豊かな味わいを持つ品種のミックスのこの酒は、旨さと甘さが個性的で非常に飲み応えがあり、素晴らしい出来栄えの「鍋島」のように思えました！上下に広がる旨さはシャープな穀物味を帯びており、それは「山田穂」の個性が反映されているように感じられました。また左右に広がる甘みは、軽やかなマンゴーのような南国の果実味を感じ、これは「渡船２号」の特徴と思われます。
