Recommended by sake guy at Hasr Wine shop. Clearly passionate about the subject and said best all around choice for Omesaki dinner at BYOB Morios. 50% polished rice and indeed had smoothness and complex long finish not experienced in my limited tasting of sake. Finished all 720 ml and glad Willie had no trouble driving. $55. On palate it's got a nutty yet creamy texture with layers. Can see what this is about. But inability to take sniff from small sake cup gives me pause on what he claimed to be superiority over wine. — 6 years ago

Still got it! Fantastic balance between lingering primary red fruits and full-on tertiary goodness: pomegranate, dried cherry, dried cranberry, mushroom, sage... if you got it, drink it! — 6 years ago

Very nice for the price. Dry red fruits forward with cherry and plum flavors. Earthy qualities with smoke and leather. Well balanced — 3 years ago

You guys, the 2017 is bonkers good. Joyously bright acid that slices through full flavors of tart, underripe pineapple, apple, and melon all kissed by a whisper of oak. Talk about over-delivering for the price. — 7 years ago
