Insane value from one of the premier producers in Shizuoka. Green melon rind, tart yogurt, dry finish w mouthwatering acidity. Perfect west coast oyster pairing

Aromatic - green melon rind - lively finish - chewy texture - great structure. Shellfish, oysters (creamy), scallop to lobster - sweet succulent

Clean, light alcohol burn, slight unripe honeydew moving to toasty, even ride. Dry dry. Can’t stop drinking.

Takatenjin Tokubetsu Honjozo A rocky, chalky well-made sake, with banana and apple skin notes. Expansive on the palate.
