Natalie's Score: 90/100

Brewed with pristine water sourced from Mount Rokko and rice refined to a 50% degree, this sophisticated sake unfolds gentle whispers of orchard and tropical fruit. Cherished across Japan for its nuanced balance, it invites quiet, mindful enjoyment on its own. Pair it alongside a plate of crispy vegetable tempura or a refreshing seaweed and cucumber salad dressed with a hint of pickled ginger.

Sake food pairings: grilled shrimp, fish tacos, sashimi.

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.
