Dreamy Clouds Nigori Sake

I was shopping for a Shaoxing rice wine which was called for in a recipe I was cooking. I did not find it, but figured that sake should be a good substitute, since it is rice wine. The Dreamy Clouds has alcohol at 15% abv and cost $16 for the 300 ml bottle at Whole Foods Market. That's a bit more than I want to pay for a wine for cooking, but I figured I would drink the rest.

This wine has a typical sake flavoring of minerals and lychee, but is quite a bit drier than the usual cloudy sake. It was great for cooking, and not that bad for drinking, although I would still rather have a Chardonnay, Roussanne or dry Riesling for either purpose.

3 Years Snow Aged Junmai Ginjo Sake

I’m a fan of this although it is from a large brewer that some say is industrial. Really nice and certainly on the heavier/bolder side of the house. They said grilled meats - don’t doubt this work. I had it with a tuna course. — 4 days ago

sake of Kaiseki dinner at Naza GiroGiro with willie. Last sake and said to be best. Less fruity but complex with a note of sharpness and a bite that went well with the complicated duck dish. — 4 months ago

Tedorigawa Kinka Daiginjo/Nama Sake

2023 June. Full bodied, almost oily texture. Fruits, flowers, and minerals. My wife and I loved it, my daughter tried twice and it wasn’t for her. Paired so well with the Yakitori; burrata with mentaiko, orange zest and toasted nori; — 5 months ago

Wakatake Onikoroshi (Demon Slayer) Junmai Ginjo Sake

This is a nice sake. This is a “mag” but I think the aromatics are diminished due to the age of the bottle or the chill I have in it. I’m just not getting much. To me the flavors are great and I’m not surprised it’s got an SMV if +\- 0 it’s like drinking water. Little alcohol on the backend. — 20 days ago
