Tom in Tokyo
This is a comment from an amateur sake lover.
This was my first Banshu Issen Junmai sake, and I had high expectations for it. It is a heavyweight with a spiciness that goes down your throat and into your nose. It was the spiciness that woke me up after a long time. The umami flavor is left in the aftertaste, which is quite difficult to achieve with this sake.
We enjoyed it today as well. Thank you!
