The 24 Japanese Sekki are days that divide the solar year into 24 equal micro seasons. Taisetsu, roughly translated to the great snowfall, starts in early December and marks the period when the days are shortest, the mountains are covered in snow, and animals have begun their winter slumber. This aptly named expression is the perfect accompaniment to the winter season with its savory peat smoke and notes of brewed tea. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Marshmallow fluff, campfire, vanilla cream, funnel cake, and sandalwood. Palate: Kiwi, grilled Concord grapes, and vanilla bean with lingering, bittersweet notes of smokey fruit skin. |
