This junmaidaiginjo may well be the very best sake I have ever tried! Unbelievable! Comparable to some of the great whites from Burgundy. Delicate is the character. Floral notes (Jasmine, gardenia) with lychee on palate, great length. This top end sempuku is from Hiroshima is made with 65% polished rice. Superb. — 6 years ago

Kawatsuru Oseto Tokubetsu Junmai from Kagawa Prefecture. Female Toji (head brewer) at the kura.
Crane of Paradise. 55% milling wth a blend of Oseto and Yamadanishiki rice.
Tokubetsu means “special “ in Japanese.
Dry and bold with a creamy touch. Ripe Asian pear, dried persimmon, cinnamon and a bit of nougat chocolate on the finish.
We had it with sashimi of B.C. Spot Prawns and Hokkaido scallops.
Very enjoyable and well priced at $30 CDN

Yoshi no gawa is the kura (brewery) in Niigata, Japan. They were founded in 1548. Yes, you read that right.
Gohyaku Mangoku rice is used. Milled to Honjozo sake….35% removed with 65% remaining. A small amount of brewers alcohol is added.
When chilled, it’s creamy with crisp green melon, minerals and white nougat.
It changes with a couple of degrees in temperature.
As it warms, more richer, earthy rounder mushroom flavours.
Snow, colder temperatures, beautiful water, experienced Toji and top quality rice are essential to produce award winning nihon shu.
Niigata excels in all categories. — 4 years ago

Rouge - not as cool as the blanc. Delicate, ethereal, mild, and gently sweet. Koji, raisin, cranberry, and toast. — 3 years ago
