Kowakura Shikomi Junmai Daiginjo Saké

It might have been the ambiance/glass/carafe they used to decant that has me giving this a higher rating than others but I think it’s accurate. Right out of the bottle it’s light, crisp and clean. As it opens and warms the flavors come out. I’d call it a light, sweet melon but if you told me it was an apple/pear sweetness I’d be hard pressed to disagree. Great bottle.

Junmai Sake 2012

Nose like a standard Junmai. Steamed rice, banana, chalk. Intense and sweet palate. Creme brulee, marshmallow, and sweet rice. Very, very good. — 10 years ago

Tilts more towards a traditional IPA with slightly bitter hops, but quite punchy and refreshing - Buddha-Bar NYC. — 4 years ago

Very versatile, great chilled and at room temperature but really opens up when warmed. Have fun with this one. — 5 years ago

Hakkaisan Nigori Sparkling Kakutama Umeshu Sake

Picked this sparkling cider up from the duty free in Tokyo and it far exceeded my expectations. Effervescent with a great balance of the savory notes you’d expect of most sakes and somewhat unexpected citrus. — 7 years ago
