We love that you love this classic! Did you know that Kubota Seppou White and Black are essentially taking the two products that's blended into Manju and featuring it separately? We love the modern deconstructed take to Manju, too.
“Greetings from Guatemala, this is the best liquor I’ve ever tasted, it was amazing, worth every penny spent on it. I felt a floral taste, my father tasted a lemon flower hint, my grandfather a nance hint. Absolutely impressive. It demonstrates the excellence from Japanese culture.”
“I really liked Manju a lot. It is a good balance of dryness with fragrance and subtle sweetness. The price for this is a bit absurd however. In Japan you can buy this for about JPY 2000 which is like USD 20 of purchasing power. I get there are import costs + having to deal with the state-to-state nonsense regarding alcohol sales and distribution. But this one might be a bit high for some folks to stomach. If money is no object then I say go for it.”
“I actually ordered the junmai, but much to my delight this precious baby showed up instead. Tippsy, your loss was my gain. My, what a sophisticated and quality sake of the highest degree. Bright and engaging with some floral elements and even a bit of spice along the taste train. One of the best sakes I have ever tasted.”
