Enter.Sake Heiwa Junmai
Enter.Sake Heiwa Junmai from Heiwa Shuzo, known for their “Kid” line in Japan, is a huge favorite of mine. Refreshing and utterly drinkable. I’m so glad this brewery finally has an offering available in the west. #sake #enter.sake #heiwa #junmai #純米酒 ＃日本酒 #平和酒造 #和歌山市 #nycsake #nyc #incredibles #nycsake #nihonshu #dash
Amabuki Gin No Kurenai Junmai
You’ve probably never had a sake like Amabuki’s Gin no Kurenai Junmai. It’s light pink color deceptively implies a very sweet affair, only to present a delightfully complex and rich taste with delicious hints of fruit. #sake #junmai #amabuki #saga #sagasake #saturdaynightsake #happyhour #nihonshu #sakenyc #日本酒 #純米酒
Nito “Two Rabbits” Junmai
Tasting some Nito “Two Rabbits” Junmai, with Yamadanishiki milled to 65 percent, and features a light, yet deceptively complex flavor Very interesting! #sake #nito #junmai #純米酒 #山田錦 #二兎
