◆DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION
I blind tasted 180 Sakes as a Sake judge over a weekend in Sydney and this was the only Sake I gave four 4s. The last day when the Sake was revealed I was eager to learn what it is and wanted to taste it again.
It turns out this is a Sake that had breakthrough in Sake brewing and has won a lot of awards, like Kura Master, IWC and Australia Sake Festival multiple times over a few years. This series is by far, the most amazing Sparking Sakes ever.
Secondary fermentation inside the bottle, aged just like Champagne. In fact the 10 year old Japanese Awasake Association gives an individually serial numbered sticker for every bottle. A lot of effort has gone into making every bottle, obviously.
It has nutty nose, sesame oil, roasted grains. The body is flush, let the fine bubbles massage your mouth. The taste is hefty, a lot of going on in the mouse, honey, coffee, toffy, tropical flowers. Lingering after taste.
This smells just like a vintage Krug and with amazing acidity for a Sake. Let it open up and this Sake is like never before, can be paired with all sort of food. -- My favorite sparkling Sake
Make sure you serve it close to 0 degrees C.

菊泉ひとすじの葛飾北斎ラベル。北斎「富嶽三十六景」の中でも、最も人気のある「神奈川沖浪裏」Kanagawa oki nami ura or the Great Waveをラベルにしました。北斎が長年に渡って描いてきた波の作品の中でもダイナミックな構図と静と動が交錯する画面は圧巻。
