Sake Paring ( Modern vs Classical Sake) at Ichimura @ Uchu , NYC. The latest a brightest in terms of trends in Sake down to their insistence to serve it in burgundy glasses ( Zaalto Burgundy in outer case). Classified polishing ratio, single rice field ( single vineyard wines eat my Japanese dus in a way ) and made in 3 separate brews and then blended back. First of its kind and not classified under standard classification. A revolution in the making akin to Modern Chianti abandoning old rules.
Very much a full and complex sake, round and polished but also with lots of depth of flavour and a long finish. A superb sake that has set NY sake circles buzzing and rightly so. Superb.
Only tech specs released have to do with rice which is A Special-A Grade Yamada Nishiki from Miki-shi.
