I am completely new to sake, so this review should be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Smells of green apple, pear, and lychee. The taste is lightly sweet and fruity with flavors following the nose of green apple, pear, and lychee on a slick body with no burn. The finish is long and lightly bitter featuring notes of lavender, jasmine rice, and subtle alcohol. Overall, this is surprisingly tasty and complex! I would never have thought you could get all these flavors from rice, would definitely recommend if you want a sake in the $30-40 range.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DOB 2025.04&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[336],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-6634","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-sake"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"&quot;Yamada-Nishiki rice, polished down to 45% of the original grain size.&quot;","hops":"","additions":"Junmai (no added alcohol), Daiginjo (rice polished to less than 50% of original grain size and slowly fermented at low temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius","yeast":"K\u014dji (aspergillus), Kyokai-k\u014dbo (saccharomyces)","abv":15,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6634"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6637,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/6634\/revisions\/6637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=6634"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=6634"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=6634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
