Nabeshima Daiginjo (鍋島 大吟醸) — Fukuchiyo Shuzo, Saga

Daiginjo from Fukuchiyo Shuzo (Nabeshima brand). 17% ABV, 720ml, and a bottling date 2025.07. Great to get them fresh.

Highly polished, aromatic “luxury daiginjo” with melon/apple/citrus tones and a clean finish. Some retailers specifically note a little fizziness on opening and there was a pop. Verged on sweet. Definite melon and significant weight on the palate. — 15 hours ago

First time I really liked a sake. Paired with ceviche with basil and small sprouts. Loved the plummy smell with a distant sweetness — 3 months ago

Hibiki Highball from the master at the Apollo. Been two years since I’ve been here but it felt like yesterday. Literally nothing has changed. Must stop if you are in Tokyo. Feel free to go to the bar Milo next door and have a drink of the “Mr Norm” bottle that I had to buy in order to get a drink. Keep in mind all of these places max out at 8 people. I kinda stressed them out coming in with eight but played the “remember me” card and picture from my iPhone ;) — 4 months ago
