Hoping Delectable can identify this, since I can't read the label, carried from Japan, it's rich, thick, almost sweet, aromatic, lovely full-bodied sake.

Light citrus flavor like a little pain from needle sting that goes away fast is the acidity to make it fun. Flavor like firework blast and disappear. Flavor like stewed Chinese medicine soup that has goji ginger turmeric.

So much body and flavor and maybe a bit too much alcohol. Drinking a little later than I should date on bottle is 2015.07.A
