by | Mar 29, 2017 | Events

  • On the last day, we looked at speciality styles like nigori , sparkling sake, taru-zake (matured in cedar barrels) and aged sake (koshu).

  • Nigori-zake, sparkling sake, koshu and taru-zake.

  • The far more sedate result at the end of day 3, including junmai sakes served warm.

  • Japan Centre's sake dictionary.

  • Nice to know I'm not out of a job yet.

  • It's funny to think of an International Wine Challenge winner in a can, but there's a great explanation of why it's a good packaging choice for an unpasteurised sake.

  • I was asked to choose the sake to go with dinner at Shimogamo, and went for a Kikusui junmai ginjo. It was delicate, but not so much so that it was overpowered by the food.

  • The Sayuri nigori-zake went beautifully with the desserts.
