Okunomatsu Sake Daiginjo Shizukuzake Juhachidai Ihei

9.0

Okunomatsu Juhachidai Ihei, Daiginjo Shizukuzake I usually like drip sake but found this thin and not amazing. There was another drip sake later on which was amazing. 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. — 3 months ago

Okunomatsu kura was founded in Fukushima in 1716 and is now led by its 19th president Joji Yusa. This sake won the International Wine Challenge (IWC) Gold medal award in 2018 beating out 1,639 other sake labels.
Lychee, orange blossom and white flowers on the nose.
Bright, silky and a bit viscous with honey dew melon, white chocolate and minerality.
Ya ya karakuchi describes a sake as a nice balance between acidity and sweetness. We had soba with duck, shiitake mushrooms and grilled leeks. — 3 years ago

Tatsumigura Junmaiginjo Refined Sake

Tony Byrd

9.3

Labeled as Junmai Ginjo, but label indicates polished rate of rice at 50%. This is more in line with a Junmai Daiginjo. Either way, this is best served chillled, but not cold. It can be served slightly warm, but the delicate fruity flavor will be degraded. — 5 years ago

Yokikana "Master's Touch" Junmai Ginjo Sake

Norman

9.3

Nagurayama Yokikana - The Master’s Touch. Let it warm and round out. It’s nice cold, crisp and viscous as well as when the chill is off and it becomes a bit sweeter and a bit more weight as the alcohol becomes more present. — 4 years ago

The back says a daiginjo in all but name. Serve cool but not cold. Agree on both counts.
