4.25/5
Also strong and sweet. Sweet and nutty and slightly meaty, chestnut-like. Chocolate-covered blackcurrant, roasted hazelnut, black pepper, honeysuckle. Theres a flavour there that feels very familiar, but I just can’t quite describe.
Delicate flavours but bold and complex. Medium sweet but quite strong stuff.
This is a very interesting and unique saké that I’m really happy to try as part of this set. However, overall, the original Funaguchi is still my favourite.
