Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting but this was nice. Generally a fan of the Kimoto style. — a month ago

At second stop Kumano. Locally brewed. Fragrant nose with white flowers tropical fruit notes. Very enticing. Then they all dissolved into a clean but silky texture and smooth on the palate. Fine with French local cooking in Japan. Had two! — 7 months ago

Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting. This did not stand out. I believed this is polished down to 30%. I would give it a shot outside of this environment. It’s hard for these light ones to get a fair shot in a reused glass. — a month ago

Happened on Sui in Kyoto serving Omakase 5/18/24. Wonderful inventive 11 course meal with flexible choices for pairing. Choose the 3 Japanese wines (!) and 3 sakes. Middle one between slightly sweet to very dry. Also in the middle for complexity and finish. — 7 months ago
