Rating: 91/100
Tasting Notes:
Tasted at Sushi Kinzen on October 17, 2026.
A light, aromatic sake with a pronounced floral character. Pleasant and approachable but ultimately a little too floral for my preference. Lacks some of the weight and depth I generally enjoy, particularly alongside food. Good sake but not among the standouts of the evening. Would prefer something with more substance and a longer, more developed finish.
