Den Blanc is a unique sake crafted with white koji, introducing a bright citrus-like sourness paired with soft umami notes. White koji, typically used in shochu production, naturally produces higher levels of citric acid, allowing the shubo (yeast starter) to be made without added lactic acid. Using Calhikari rice grown by Rue & Forsman Ranch, it offers aromas of young pineapple, green apple, and a touch of cream. The palate is juicy and tart, with a balanced umami and minerality, leading to a rich, mouth-watering finish.
