Taiheizan “Tenkō” Junmai Daiginjō). 

The brewer is 小玉醸造株式会社 (Kodama Jōzō / Kodama Brewing Co., Ltd.) in Akita prefecture.
This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands. — 8 months ago
