Incredible sake. Intense umami & forest mushrooms, paired really well with steak as well as lobster. Very unique and worth seeking out.

Baked apple, cheese rind, bananas, burnt sugar. Slightly oxidized, but so damn good!

One of the best aged sake I've tried. Cocoa, umami but not too heavy, super drinkable.
