People who tried this
“Had I had more time, I would have tried a bit more, but all I had time for was only half a sip (hopefully they'll be back next year). It tasted so clear like water at first, but that's when the dry flavor hits you.”
“I fell in love with sake the first time I tasted Kubota Senjyu from Asahi Shuzo in Niigata. At the time, I was living in the U.S. Virgin Islands, working for a sub-par sushi bar. I had always been interested in sake, but as I stood at that bar in St. Thomas and savored its taste, I sensed that sake would become a very important part of my life.”
