Vinny Brooklyn
70% polishing and made in June. Nice but not memorable on a July night.
Vinny Brooklyn
Very light. I suppose nice in summer heat, but too easy to drink
Vinny Brooklyn
Nice having yakitori on a summer’s night, especially with this as an accompaniment. Three that followed had a challenging time matching this one.
Vinny Brooklyn
Last of the evening. Also delightful. Lighter than expected from Nagano. Well done. 👍

The label does not lie—very dry. Almost too easy to drink.
Vinny Brooklyn
Outstanding! Dry but lots of nuance.

Vinny Brooklyn
Last of the ANA Lounge sake. This is nihonshu; producer says good with eel & Yakitori, neither of which on offer here. Really in between the three sake’s available. 100% Miyagi rice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second pre-flight small taste. Sharp and crisp. 60% polishing ratio. Too elegant for the morning!
Vinny Brooklyn
At ANA Lounge in Haneda, before NH112 to the Windy City. Very fresh, with fruit like but not fruity flavors. Don’t often have Gifu brews and certainly not before 10 am, but this is nice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Special Limited Edition for Spring. But the temperatures these days anything but Spring-like. Pleasant brew
Vinny Brooklyn
Home and first regular sake in a while. Have to say this was better than take out sushi. Very dry.
Vinny Brooklyn
Agree with the description of fresh and full bodied.
On board NH109, JFK —> HND, business class
Vinny Brooklyn
Label says bottled in Sept 2020 and shipped in May 2025. High alcohol content (19%) not noticeable. Very drinkable.
