This is one of those brews that everybody should try at least once. Why? Because it is without borders – the flavor is so unique and the fluid itself is even more baffling. It’s as if the sake expands in your mouth, almost a springing back into shape feeling after being muted by the two years of aging. It is so calm and yet so dynamic.
