How can so much flavor be offset with such excellent acidity to create superb balance? Who knows and who cares when drinking one of the true sakes of the sake world sakes! If you like your brews dirty with large and expansive flavors of dark chocolate, tangy fruit, and a distinct gaminess then hold on to your hats for one of the most unique and “Yamahai-ish” sake in the market. Smaller cups bring forth more koshu-like qualities with chewy old fruit, and larger vessels produce more rich and tangy expressions that tingle on sour.

Another liquid adventure from Philip Harper. This sake is round, chewy and drinks like a liquid Bazaar. With so many odd shapes, colors, and flavors that forms a tasty tapestry that is so unique and delicious. This is one of those sakes where it is fun to exhale after your sip it! Why? Because it is so many different things in a wonderfully balanced fluid that feels great in the mouth. Thick, fat, chewy, and solid it drinks smooth and fleshy with a subtle citrus tingle and a splash of minerals. Round and viscous there is a grittiness and a flinty character that is so intriguing sort of like taking a bite out of a tightly packed snowball. The best balance for this brew is found in a mid-sized cup, which produces hints of maple syrup and ash with a touch of powder sugar. A wine glass produces a long tail, and an ochoko makes the brew smooth and beefy. They recommend drinking on the rocks and if you do I recommend distilled water ice cubes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORD:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Ice \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Vast reds\/Flinty whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEER:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Mineral ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e International spice from curry to tacos and everything in between. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WSI","offers":[{"title":"1.8L","offer_id":40795860795559,"sku":"NA30-01","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/NA30-01_TamagawaJunmaiGinjoMurokaNamaGenshuIceBreaker_1.8L_WM.png?v=1750984691"},{"product_id":"shirataki-jozen-jukusei-junmai-ginjo-pink-1-8l","title":"Shirataki Jozen Jukusei Junmai Ginjo \"Pink\" 1.8L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll 1.8L bottles are for Store Pick Up.

Smooth, round, and slightly creamy, \"Atago no Matsu\" is a sneaky sake that is light and flavorful, but tricks you with a gentle dryness. Look for young strawberry, raspberries, Asian pear, cream, melon, lemon water, cucumber, spring greens, and some Japanese strawberry cream drink (cannot remember the name) flavors on a very soft and smooth flow. The brewery calls this the “Ultimate Food Sake,” so not only does it drink great, it pairs great too. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORD:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Balanced \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Soft Reds\/Juicy Whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEER:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Creamy Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e “Ultimate Food Sake”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SKURNIK","offers":[{"title":"1.8L","offer_id":43670941139187,"sku":"JH248-01","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/JH248-01_AtagonoMatsuTokubetsuHonjozoPineofAtago_1.8L_WM.png?v=1750891928"},{"product_id":"bijofu-tokubetsu-junmai-the-gentleman-1-8l","title":"Bijofu Tokubetsu Junmai \"The Gentleman\" 1.8L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll 1.8L bottles are for Store Pick Up.

And best of all, it’s that glorious word “drinkable.” It’s not fair really, because some brews are just so tasty that no matter the price, it’s just delicious and there’s nothing you can do about it (except drink it!). Slippery with a medium body, there is a very subtle acidity play that you barely notice because you’re so taken with the flavor. Look for an array of subtleties like Asian pear, papaya, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon curd, peach, and sweet rice flavors, with a touch of shibumi (astringency). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORD:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Drinkable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Clean Reds\/Easy Whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEER:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOODS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSushi, sashimi, shellfish, oysters, grilled fish and fowl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SKURNIK","offers":[{"title":"1.8L","offer_id":44011412095219,"sku":"JH258-01","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/JH258-01_BijofuTokubetsuJunmaiTheGentleman_1.8L_WM.png?v=1750892722"},{"product_id":"isojiman-honjozo-pride-of-the-seashore-1","title":"Isojiman Honjozo \"Pride of the Seashore\" 1.8L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll 1.8L bottles are for Store Pick Up.

Most Honjozo sake are thin, linear, and uneventful made to be quaffed with urgency. Not this Seashore Pride. Smooth, layered, slippery, watery, soft with a dry finish. Think complexity and drink professionalism in sake making. This is a pure texture play that carries very interesting flavors such as peach, sourdough toast, dried apple rings, rice crackers with a heavy hand of umami and ocean brine licks that open up in a wine glass and come to their senses as the fluid warms.

If you like vast red wines then this brew is for you because it has earth tones, dark chocolate, and cocoa flavors that drink complex and dry. I call it almost “Liquid Dry.” This brew also falls along the lines of a “3 Sipper” sake that takes 3 sips for the sake to blend well in your palate. I think that is the complexity talking. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORD:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Complex \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Deep dry reds\/dry whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEER:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Stouts \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e A super food friendly sake that works with everything including the kitchen sink\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOSODA","offers":[{"title":"1.8L","offer_id":46350615511283,"sku":"JH151-01","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/JH151-01_ShinkameJunmaiHolyTurtle_1.8L_WM.png?v=1729898194"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truesake.live\/collections\/1-8l-bottles.oembed","provider":"True Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
