Good fruit, a little out of balance, hot. Tangy lychee and hint of sweetness. Food brought out the alcohol

Friggin unreal. I kinda want to stop there, but hard not to express some flavor notes my

This was recommended by the guy working at Sakaya (a great little shop in the East Village specializing in just sake). He said it would pair nicely with fried chicken.

Well the chicken hasn’t come yet, but this sake is keeping me more than satisfied.

I want to say creamy mouthfeel, but it’s more of a lusciousness. Bursting with flavors of mango, lychee, honeydew, the tropical fruits are strong with this one.

But then there is also this sort of numbing effervescence to start and a nice boozy spice to end.

Keeper. With food or as the star.
