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. Sweet. — 7 days ago

Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting but these were nice. Actually had the 35 which was fun to try. I would probably lean towards the Japan based ones unless this is substantially cheaper and I could try head to head. Blue is made in NYC. — a year ago

From “magnum”. Not sure what you call these for sake. — 2 years ago

9.1

Great sake, clean and clear. Medium body, a bit viscous. Melon, plum, and anise with sweetness, but followed by a dry, bitter shochu-like finish. — 24 days ago

Dassai Beyond Junmai Daiginjo Sake

Norman

Dassai Beyond - It’s beyond good. This is the level above 23. Brought over from Japan by a friend a colleague and it’s the reason I skipped a number of the wines opened. 10/2023 16% alcohol, think it’s polished to 20% but that’s a guess. — a year ago
