Takasago Shuzo

Ginga Shizuku Divine Droplets Junmai Daiginjo Sake 2015

Candylike aromas on the nose of pear and red apple, bubblegum, cherry blossom. Sweet cherry blossom and honey on the palate with a big dose of anise, red and black licorice. Pure and crystalline but just a bit oversweet and medicinal to me. — 8 years ago

Yoichi Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky

Golden straw. Very elegant aromas of wet turf, potting soil, sea spray, and dried apricots in the background. Subtle malt flavors, vanilla, and fresh tobacco. Full mouthfeel with a long finish. — 8 years ago

Nose is apple, fresh and light. In the mouth very light and jovial as well. Fruity and then lightly bitter on the finale. Very feminin and elegant. — 8 years ago

White Rhone that is creamy lavender and honey suckle. It really tastes like Provence. First time drinking a wine that reminds of the actual place. Magical with Hokkaido scallop and rose wine poached octopus — 8 years ago
