“While the wood flavor was much more subtle than I expected, this was a fabulous drink and a great pairing especially with fish. I personally found it particularly enjoyable warm. The refrigerated temperature I found not that special though”
“I found this to be a solid yamahai-style sake. I didn't find this maybe as 'woody' as the description alludes to, but was very enjoyable - round and savory. I'm a fan of yamahai and would come back to this one. I had this sake without knowing about this documentary relationship, just looking for good earthy sake.”
“This sucker is stunning. It makes total sense why they would be a documentary made about it. Do yourself a favor and drink the sake and watch the movie!”
“Ah, this takes me back to the wonderful few days my wife and I spent in and around Kanazawa where we enjoyed this sake with some amazing kaiseki meals. This is a gentle Yamahai with just a hint of some funk/rich umami. It is quite balanced and wonderful with the seafood nabe it accompanied this weekend. This is a great value and I am happy to support the fine people at Yoshida who can be seen in the documentary Birth of Sake.”
