Born "Dreams Come True" Junmai Daiginjo Sake

9.1

Born “Dreams Come True” is a Junmai Daiginjo from Kato Kichibee Shoten in Fukui Prefecture. It’s aged for five years at –5 °C (some sources mention –8 °C). This is supposed to be one of the top Born sakes and it would be interesting to try with a couple others side by side. It’s a liter bottle and when it got opened it was on the cold side. As it warmed and opened up you can see why people call it flamboyant. It becomes a big, powerful sake with big flavors and a long finish. Heavy weight on the palate but very smooth and as they say velvety. It was nice but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it - not sure why other than maybe how it started out which was a bit sharp, angular and lean. Need to pull these earlier. — a month ago

Nice but I think there are better Born bottles to be had. Better as the chill comes off the bottle. — 4 months ago

Nice but right out of the bottle I would say the flavors were light and the viscosity a bit thin. As it warmed the flavors really came out and they filled the mouth. — 2 years ago
