Bio and Tasting Notes: Nice aroma of cedar smoke with spicy, banana chip flavor.  This fine, dry sake is allowed to mature in barrels made of the finest Yoshino cedar. The sake is drawn from the barrel and bottled just as this aroma reaches its peak for optimal enjoyment. The refreshing aroma of Taru Sake serves to clear the palate by washing away residual food flavors remaining in the mouth.
