Tatsuriki Oyster's Friend Tokubetsu Junmai

This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands. Ok. Would not search out — 4 days ago

Château Rieussec

Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2017

Ok I am a fan of rieussec especially the 2015 vintage; this one doesn’t stand up anywhere close to the 2015. This 2017 vintage wine is “interesting” as it delivers gewurtz like rose petals mixed in with pineapple and kumquat notes. Clashing with chocolate molten cake (my bad for trying to pair). If you have to try one, try 2015! Unless you can get hold of 2001. Cheers and merry Christmas from Bahia Honda — 6 years ago

Tatsuriki Nihon No Sakura Kinpaku Junmai Daiginjo

This was sharper on the palate, more alcohol and I think it’s silly when they include gold flakes in the drink. It’s supposed to be somehow restorative; I don’t even think that’s based in pseudo-science; it’s just a fad/marketing thing. In any case, it imparts no flavor which this same had a lot of, but it didn’t match the others which were higher quality imho. — 5 months ago

Domaine Clos des Rochers

Grand Premier Cru Moselle Luxembourgeoise Auxerrois Blanc 2017

An aperitif wine to engage the palate and build the appetite for dinner on this wet covid day inside. Even Jake won’t go out. This wine isn’t a Ferrari - more like a spiffy Honda with metallic paint and a nice stereo system. Nice wine. — 6 years ago

Actually I was referring to the Riesling, which this is not!

Tatsuriki Jingu Junmai Daiginjo

Tatsuriki Jingu Junmai Daiginjo This was an excellent recommendation and was served in a wine glass as well as a “normal” sale glass. I preferred the normal glass. Less nose but more on the tongue. The markup was rational but it’s steep. — 2 years ago

Tatsuriki Kome No Sasayaki Daiginjo Sake

From Hyogo prefecture. Honda Shoten Tatsuriki Daigingyo. Ripe melon and golden pear on the nose.
This nihon-shu has a viscous quality. Yellow plum, ripe honeydew melon, apricot with a spicy cinnamon finish. We had duck soba with local Matsutake mushrooms and green onions charred in duck fat with this sake.
