Lighter than the eight years of aging would lead you to believe. The yukimuro room, or snow chilled room, represents a very unique set of storage conditions - remarkable stable in temperature, cold but not sub zero. It leads to an aging that is remarkably elegant - this is not fruit salad sake aged nearly frozen, this is sake that reflects the depth and complexity and texture that aging brings but without the heavy handedness that is often assosciated with koshu sake. A relatively high abv (the sake is also genshu) keeps it light on the palate, with toasted rice, red miso, allspice, caramel, and pounded mochi on the nose.
