Brewer description: Elegant and refined, with a gorgeous aroma, clear delicate flavor and smooth texture. Designed to balance the fragrance and richness of Yamada Nishiki with a clean finish.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas.
Very good and underrated. Excellent value. Not something I would bring to a serious restaurant, but I would absolutely buy it for home or at a casual restaurant.
