Okunomatsu Juhachidai Ihei, Daiginjo Shizukuzake I usually like drip sake but found this thin and not amazing. There was another drip sake later on which was amazing. This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands.
