Aged to perfection

Brewed with Yamadanishiki rice, this junmai daiginjo is aged for 1,000 days at low temperatures. This aging process gives the sake a nutty aroma, which is followed by a rich, dry flavor. On the palate there are notes of walnuts, honey and clove. It’s recommended you serve this sake in a large wine glass so that you can relish the complex notes. Also take in its ornate kabuki label.

Where to even begin! This is the most amazing nihonshu I have had the pleasure to taste to this day! Nose: dairy butter, wild grains, and fragrant plum/cherry blossoms. Mouthfeel: dry and very rounded Taste: sweet raisins, wild grain, delicate cherry blossoms Color: amber Recommended serving temperature: room temperature An absolute masterpiece I still cant believe what I’m tasting (there’s still more hidden under there... walnuts as well?) this is Kody W. Approved all the way!
