Lightweight on the palate, I get a quick hit of melon but then it fades to a bitter hit with some heat that sticks for a while. — a year ago

赤いベリー、シロップ漬けのチェリー、キャンディー、ミント、ヨード、火打石、小梅やアセロラ的、揮発酸的な要素もあるが、とてもクリーンで上品。エレガントというより、チャーミング。 — 4 months ago

It is called Bangmakok and it is a Thai rice wine. Nothing like the Japanese sake but this slightly barrel fermented rice wine tastes like a white port more than anything. It is a truly interesting rice wine to try. Bo lan has a unique selections of drinks. — 7 years ago

Tatsuriki Terroir Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo (sometimes marketed as “Tatsuriki Terroir Kome no Sato”)
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

Daishichi Raden 2011 Kimoto Junmai Ginjo. Would not have guessed it’s been aged for 12 years and then realistically aged another 2 years before I got it. Rich, soft, bordering on sweet. I would say it matches the other Kimoto styles I’ve had with great flavor and stronger rice flavors for me. I’d assume the lack of acid is due to the age than the style. 2011 vintage with 12 years of aging. Sake Meter Value:
