The nose on this seasonally released and very limited unpasteurized and undiluted (17% ABV) brew has a cool collection of persimmon, cream soda, pear, grape, watermelon, kiwi, pomelo, and peach aromas. Say hello to coolness in a bottle. This nama is a Junmai Daiginjo (classy!) that drinks bright, lively, crisp, spritzy, off-dry, tingly, very flavorful, with a dry clean finish. Look for Asian pear, vanilla bean, baked bread, papaya, mango, green apple, daikon, rock sugar, grape, and snowmelt mineral flavors that dance with an integrated umami, and end with an impeccable balance. Again, this is another season of excellent sake from Koshi no Homare. WORD: Balanced WINE: Minerally Reds/Flinty Whites BEER: Clean Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, elegant and complex Champagne fare, caviar, oysters, lobster, crab, sweet shrimp, and cheese boards. (2025)

The nose on this seasonally released Junmai Daiginjo Nama (not a lot of those) is a great collection of pineapple, strawberry, pomelo, rock sugar, blueberry, fresh grasses, and cherry aromas. Snap! A raw premium sake that is undiluted (17%) and unfiltered (no not Nigori, but rather not charcoal filtered) that drinks with tingly and fresh elegance. Light, bright, crisp, silky, off-dry, and a little thin, this is a fruity zesty teaser that is refreshing, and has a nice astringency with a mineral finish. Look for pineapple, pear, crisp apple, honeydew, strawberry, Whoppers™, marshmallow, snowmelt, and ricey flavors on an edgy flow. Fresh and high-end sake that is great for your sushi bar pairings. WORD: Bright WINE: Zesty Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, shellfish, shrimp, citrus based fare, fruit and cheese plates. (2023)
