Brewery: Koueigiku Shuzo
Prefecture: Saga, Japan
Classification: Not confirmed
Rice: Not confirmed
Polishing Ratio: Not confirmed
ABV: Not confirmed
Rating: 94/100
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.
