Drops came Junmai Daiginjo Sake

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

Just delicious. Full bodied with wonderful texture, but quite balanced. A smidge on the less dry side overall. Hard to argue with as a pairing for tonkatsu. — 2 years ago
