Born “Dreams Come True” is a Junmai Daiginjo from Kato Kichibee Shoten in Fukui Prefecture. It’s aged for five years at –5 °C (some sources mention –8 °C). This is supposed to be one of the top Born sakes and it would be interesting to try with a couple others side by side. It’s a liter bottle and when it got opened it was on the cold side. As it warmed and opened up you can see why people call it flamboyant. It becomes a big, powerful sake with big flavors and a long finish. Heavy weight on the palate but very smooth and as they say velvety. It was nice but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it - not sure why other than maybe how it started out which was a bit sharp, angular and lean. Need to pull these earlier. — 10 months ago

Nice but right out of the bottle I would say the flavors were light and the viscosity a bit thin. As it warmed the flavors really came out and they filled the mouth. — 2 years ago

@Robert Takahashi thanks to my brother in-law for bringing this gem!
He decanted overnight and we poured it today. Absolutely beautiful legs on this mistress. Thin and long! The nose is spectacular as well. Oak immediately grabs your attention. Blackberry, & licorice follows. The tannins are there and to be expected from such a young Dunn but they soon fade away as your thoughts lead the way to the next sip of enjoyment. Definitely a big boy!! Thank goodness I have my big boy pants on right now!!!! 😜👍🍷🍷👍😜 — 10 years ago

Nice but I think there are better Born bottles to be had. Better as the chill comes off the bottle. — a year ago

@Robert Takahashi @Christine A Bottle of aged Scotch given to to my father in-law over 35 years ago. A lot of stories behind this bottle and the incredible man that received it. We finally broke the seal on this bottle this evening in the company of friends that we now call Family with you in our heart Anthony! Cheers to you Anthony! We love you and always hold you tightly in our thoughts and heart.
