Kamoshibito Kuheiji Human Junmai Daiginjo Sake 2021

A case for decanting saké? Too rich for my blood when first opened, but it became far more elegant after a week opened in the fridge. Very fruity and sweet at the start, but it became more nuanced with air. By the last few pours it reminded me a little of a savoury Sauv Blanc almost, though with far less acidity. Not bad. — 3 months ago

Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2018

Finally tried Kuheiji’s Burgundy project (NB: their efforts in France yielded one of my most memorable sakés in 2019 - the Camargue; notes on Delectable). This was quite the changeling - started off reductive with a red-fruited palate, light airy touch, juicy acidity, and no noticeable oak. Combined with the hint of fruit sweetness in the back end, I just shot straight for Beaujolais in my blinded guess. Should have waited as my mistake became quite apparent over dinner. With air, the wine took on a darker/black fruit profile and showed obvious signs of oak treatment, though well-integrated. It was all blackcurrants, plums, raspberries, cinnamon, dark chocolate, cedar, and a hint of earthiness/minerality (appellation?). The palate remained airy and juicy, with that fruit sweetness in the finish perhaps indicative of the warm vintage. I enjoyed this as it had energy, though DC found the wine a little too oaky for his liking and KK noted some bottle variation with this being a weaker pull. — 3 years ago

Eau du Désir Yamada Nishiki Junmai Ginjo Sake 2019

Great way to start the year. Pure and energetic! Not as "raw" as the last time I had this, but still as effervescent. Fruit swept aromas followed by a sweet front palate and a kick of refreshing citrussy acidity to finish. So delicious! — 3 years ago
