Nouveau Sake has arrived!

Denshin Nama (unpasteurized) Sake

Nouveau Sake (just made, new sake), perhaps the earliest one arriving in New York this year.

Full of fruity aroma, muscular, complex with a dry /sharp finishing. It is still rough right now, but should settle in a bit. It is most interesting to observe its changes after a month or two.

Only a very limited number of bottles are available in New York. Not to be missed.
