It felt a bit on the edge. This was a bottle bought not direct from the producer so might have had some impact. Color was not browning but not the normal clean purple so I’m hoping others are better. — 4 days ago

This was probably my favorite if you like the flavors to fill the mouth and linger. Bit of alcohol on the palate which makes it a bit drier than the others. Finish lasts for a while and really goes well with the tuna. 2022-03 so a bit dated — 20 days ago

Forgot to take a pic so using stock. ChatGPT said this was the best quality/price ratio on the menu. I would say it was good/nice but not amazing but I guess 2x multiple is considered reasonable. I picked this over ones that were “cheaper” but I’ve either had or it was a 3-4x which seems silly to pay for a low end sake. Clean, light-weight, decent finish but the IWA was much more flavorful and longer finish. I brought the IWA so can’t compare price. Chef was nice and did not charge corkage on the IWA — 13 days ago
