4.7 Rating 40 Reviews
I love the brand name, but this also has a hint of licorice which I am not a huge fan of; need to have this ice cold first to mellow it out.

Very smooth, particularly good when served warm or hot.

Fairly dry and “savory”. Pleasant nose, but the dryness is not for me. Not bad, but definitely not my preference.

My favorite dry and crisp sake. This is nice when it’s cold. I enjoy it with sushi

This is merely what I expect good sake to taste like. No surprises, as this wasn't a new sake for me. Otokoyama is the "(semi)-official sake" of the Tacoma Buddhist Temple ( Jodo Shinshu ), brought out for holidays and auspicious occasions. The bottle label characterizes it well - light, smooth and rich. I would say easy drinking, not in a pejorative way. Comfort sake for me.

I enjoyed this sake chilled while cooking, eating, and after a pork taco dinner. I found it to have a floral nose, with a pleasant rice and earthy flavor. There might have even been a slight vanilla aftertaste to it. Fantastic sake that I will make sure to enjoy again in the near future.
