This was on the richer, sweeter spectrum, while still maintaining a level of brightness that made it very digestible. Enjoyable.

Nama sake slightly sparkling. The best is that its name is "First Snow". So beautiful almost name Olivia that!

Katoukichibee Shouten Brewery Born 38 Special Junmai Daiginjo sake. Rice grain milled away to 50%, no brewer's alcohol added. Floral on the nose with jasmine and white linen. Delicate and ethereal with an unexpected spicy finish. Served with a teriyaki of Wagyu beef tenderloin, pumpkin, asparagus and onigiri rice. Followed by a dessert of poached white summer peach, Japan pearls, Suntory dry gin espuma, exotic sorbet, and petit fours.
