Vinny Brooklyn
Made from Akita Sake Komachi rice — and PR release of only 4 days ago says — it is “entirely pressed in a tank.” Very lively, almost too genki for a Friday night. But nice way to end the week with only 11 more days to go this year.

Purchased at Kyoto-eki. Have to say, the brief taste sip at the souvenir store front was better than expected. This bottle at home was meh.
