It is called Bangmakok and it is a Thai rice wine. Nothing like the Japanese sake but this slightly barrel fermented rice wine tastes like a white port more than anything. It is a truly interesting rice wine to try. Bo lan has a unique selections of drinks. — 7 years ago

Daishichi Raden 2011 Kimoto Junmai Ginjo. Would not have guessed it’s been aged for 12 years and then realistically aged another 2 years before I got it. Rich, soft, bordering on sweet. I would say it matches the other Kimoto styles I’ve had with great flavor and stronger rice flavors for me. I’d assume the lack of acid is due to the age than the style. 2011 vintage with 12 years of aging. Sake Meter Value:

Воск, чайная роза, земляника, розовая черешня, сушёный апельсин, заветренный мёд, печёное яблоко с корицей, разбавленная заварка, клюква, калина, лаковая коробочка. Насыщенный янтарный цвет, обильный осадок. Среднее тело с активной кислотностью и мелкодисперсными танинами. Естественно и чисто в рамках стиля; одновременно окислено и свежо. Оксидативный тон заметен при сильном охлаждении; при нагревании и аэрации вино заметно прибавляет, обретает глубину. Пьётся как легкое, тонкое красное. — 7 years ago

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. — 7 days ago
