Reviews and Ratings

Crafted by Kikuchi Sake Brewing, this bottling celebrates Omachi—the oldest surviving sakamai, first cultivated in 1859. The grain’s fragile structure makes brewing no easy feat, yet the payoff is striking: a delicate touch of sweetness balanced by a savory, umami-rich core. Graceful and food-centric, it pairs effortlessly with everything from sashimi or grilled fish. Sip it lightly chilled for clarity or warm it gently to reveal deeper layers of flavor. - Community Wine Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
