Yes! It's back for yet another season (well over 15 years now) and this version of Masumi's wonder-brew is one of Beau's favorites as it drinks, \"plumper, beefier, less acidic, less citric, and just more velvety than in years past.\" Smooth, plump, rich, zesty, fleshy, fat, juicy, and with a hint of tingle, this sake drinks like dipping your cup in a fermenting tank of sake. Look for honey tea, tangerine, melon, vanilla, mochi, papaya, pear compote, and honeycomb flavors that drink full and expressive. Serve chilled out of a wine glass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSmooth \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ePlump Reds\/Zesty Whites\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eCrisp Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sushi, sashimi, shellfish, shrimp, crab salads, orange chicken, dim sum, international spice, fish tacos, ceviche, and poolside summer cuisines.
