Light melon aromas laced with cream cheese and rainwater. Complex and structured on the palate with a great depth of flavour that lingers. Elegant, well-textured yet light, with a slight crisp, mineral finish.

The name Iro Otoko translates to Lady Killer. This sake is inspired by male host clubs, with the club hosts wanting a high end sake to serve to female clients.

In "Koi NISHIKIGOI", the grade and rice is kept a secret – this is to allow one's sense of smell and taste to be surprised, appreciating its flavour and aroma without sight and knowledge of it.

Good intensity and umami. Lactic acidity, refreshing with slight heat on the finish. Nice tropical fruits and rice aromas. Well balanced with umami and sweetness. It would be good to try it warm.

The beauty within is equally matched by the beauty without as the bottle that houses Nishikigoi Saké is artfully crafted by Yamaharu Glass Co. The distinctive red-on-white pattern that mimics the Kohaku variety of Koi has been the recipient of numerous design awards, making each unique bottle a collector’s item

The purest Yuzu juice is mixed with a 75% polished Junmai sake base to create the cleanest and freshest of flavours. It is light enough to be enjoyed chilled on its own without diluting, and gives the impression that the fruit was just squeezed yesterday!

Very well balanced and enjoyable fruit infused sake.
