This seasonal sake is called “Jumai Ginjo Namzake” from the Harushika Sake Brewery in Nara, Japan. It is insanely smooth sake that has a subtle cherry fragrance and aftertaste without it being too sweet. It’s one of the best sake’s I’ve tasted! — 6 years ago
2021/5/16 with rib steak grilled over nara and charcoal, fava beans with pecorino, mustard green salad, and focaccia. This almost feels younger than the 1999 Combe - or at least without that deep bottle bouquet. Instead there is penetrating, brambly red fruit with hints of iron and blood. The mature note is more like a lightly spiced cherry tart. On the palate, there’s even more freshness and intensity - a thick, lip-smacking acidity too. — 4 years ago
Intense fruit and slightly spicy surprise. Delicious — 7 years ago
