Tasting Notes:

Tasted at Sushi Kinzen on October 17, 2026.

A beautifully rich, sweet sake with an expressive palate and an immediately appealing character. Super sweet but thoroughly enjoyable, with a lush, rounded profile that makes it particularly well suited to drinking before dinner. One of the more memorable bottles of the evening. I rated it 94 on its own merits, although the pronounced sweetness makes it more of an aperitif than something I would choose to drink throughout a meal. — 20 days ago
