Review Summary:
Let's start with the lingo. This is a Junmai (no added alcohol), Ginjo (top 4 premium sake grades) Genshu (undiluted with water) sake. From Oregon, no less, with Calrose sake rice grown in the Sacramento Valley of California. Being undiluted, this is at the upper scales for sake alcohol content at 18%. And you can feel it: a punchy, bold, smooth and full-bodied sake with lush melons, perfumed Anjou, Asian pear crispness and a sweet cereals note on the weighted, glycerol palate. There's a riff of grip on the sides and an aptness for oily fish and ramen.
