60 - Amabuki

Son came back from Japan and brought a bottle of what is supposed to be the distillery's best offering. It is fantastic!

Cost him approximately $50 US at the brewery, probably around $200 at a sushi bar here.

61 - A few sips of Kizakura thanks to Conan. Not sure what to think from my first foray into sake. Maybe it'll grow on me?:-k

Clean and smooth (...but not “Silk” smooth...)

65~ Junmai Nigori Shimizu-no-mai “pure snow”

Pretty sure this is distilled yeti spunk.

Sushi and Korean ramen was good though.

66 - Arizona Sake

Many thanks to DED for RAOKing this a couple-ish weeks ago. Nice and clean, subtle kick. Definitely something I would buy and bring back when / if I visit AZ again.

Wife’s birthday so our son bought nigiri sushi, hamachi and otoro sashimi and hamachi kama for dinner. He also brought his last bottle of this exceptional sake that he got from Japan earlier this year.

A very light, dry sake. First time trying this one, wind drink again but wanted something a little stronger with the spiciness of the sushi.

Wife decided to do an all-tempura dinner - mahi, zucchini, and asparagus - so the sake fit the meal perfectly.

Not as light or smooth as Silk or Born Gold but this bottle won’t last that long.

Still no Silk in sight. 😣

Surprisingly good! $20 bottle from Costco that I told our son to pick up more next time he goes there.

Silk is the only one this gaijin can remember.
