I am a third generation Japanese living in Hawaii. My first Sake, Dewazakura Ooka, started my quest to learn more about Sake. Always tasting, always learning.

This Sake is fresh with a dry finish. It starts with a sweet flavor with hints of wood. The finish lingers for a short while and finishes clean. I enjoy this Sake with heavier foods like beef and pork.

This Sake is soft, juicy and sweet. The flavor reminds me of the Tochigi milky strawberry and it has a full, soft mouth feel. The acidity at the end cleanses the pallet and leaves a very light sour finish. This is a fun Sake to try. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This Sake is rich and full bodied. For me, the flavors that stand out are honey and rice. It seems similar to a dark stout beer. There is a good balance of flavor and a clean finish. This Sake lives up to its name. ๐Ÿ˜
