This sake must be good because the rice is, according to the importer “quasi-organically grown” but more importantly fertilized with the manure of Japanese racehorses, which, thanks to anti-doping rules in Japan means it’s free of whatever passes for horse steroids. Konishi Brewing Co. Has been making sake in Itami prefecture since 1550, so they have a little experience. That’s why this Junmai Daiginjo sake is a pretty smooth operator, with malted milk and gardenia blossom aromas and a weighty Asian pear and malted milk flavor touched by white flowers. — 4 years ago
