Baller, celebration Sake. Rich & concentrated Genshu. Dried shrimp paired with chocolate at its mind-bending best. You don't know the rules. Come drink some at The Peterboro Detroit and rosy up them cheeks on the good stuff.

This is RUTEN label and a little different from list/name came up.
Brewed and bottled Feb. 2016. As recommended, it was very chilled when tasted. It was very smooth yet creamy taste full of flavour. As time lapsed, flavour and taste changed toward sweeter from lighter/fruity.

Junmai Daiginjo / made by master brewer names in Japan's top 100 craftsmen of all time (and only sake brewer in list) Seimabai - 65% of rice polished away (50% is standard very best). Hakkasan does a lot
