Urakasumi Honjozo Genshu sake bottle cap

First sip and I already knew...

This sake was going home with me.

It walked in the room like...

Glam-rock. The Fuyu Fest brochure called it that and they weren't wrong.

The sweetness here is...

Present but patient, a honey-warm without ever becoming a dessert.

Three words that describe this sake are...

Whoa. Wow. Kanpai!

Open this when...

You’re headed to your couch after a long day, your favorite show queued up, with no where to be.

Light, clean, and pear-forward. The sake that converts skeptics.
