YU
This sake is only available at a sake brewery in Kujukuri, Chiba Prefecture.
Despite being a junmai sake, it has a gorgeous aroma and a dark rummy flavor; although priced at 1,200 yen, it tastes as noble as a Sharaku.
If drunk blind, it is at a level that would make it a top-class choice among famous brands.
I honestly thought I wouldn't go twice because it was so far away, but both the junmai daiginjo and the junmai sake were so damn good, I'm thinking I'll have to go back!
