Over the weekend I had the pleasure of testing two more 300mL bottles of sake. It really is the perfect size for taste tests.
Tataka Kuni
A very dry and fragrant Junmai brewed in the Tochigi prefecture. Pretty smooth and well rounded, but nothing approaching the Star Filled Sky in terms of smoothness.
Sato No Homare
This Junmai Ginjo brewed in Ibarala prefecture is quite unique because the toji (brew master) responsible for it is peculiar in one very special way—she’s a woman! As toji are normally men, this is a very rare and wonderful thing. I think this is almost immediately apparent in tasting this sake. It has a very fruity, full nose, and the taste is strong, fragrant and quite “compact” in its way. Packs quite a punch.
Not my favorite sake out there, but it’s certainly unique!
