First sip and I already knew...

The judges weren't wrong. The IWSC gave it 95 points and a Gold Award in 2024.

What it does between hello and goodbye is...

Crisp pear on entry, dry but coats mouth.

There's a word for what this feels like and that word is...

It’s name: Mu. Nothingness. Clean and complete.

If this sake were a place it would be...

A desert overlook. Vast, dry, and exquisitely worth the drive.

Three words that describe this sake are...

Subtle. Dry. Complete.
