This wine was given to me by a stranger, whom I now call friend, on our first meeting while I was traveling in Japan. Why? Just because I was curious. He spoke no English, I spoke no Japanese, but wine was our language and Google was the enabler.

The wine is an oddity - made of 6 grapes from the 6 prefectures of Tohoku, bottled fresh post-ferment, meant to be drunk across the country at 1900 on 11th March each year, to commemorate the losses of the 311 Tohoku Earthquake.

For me, this wine exemplifies all the good in wine. Wine has the uncanny ability to break down barriers, and to bring out the spirit of generosity, but most importantly, to make people happy. And this wine is happy! It's bright, fresh, umami, super glouglou, made for a good cause, shared among good people :) Happy happy! — 8 years ago

Not usually an unfiltered fan and too lazy to warm sake… cold weather though led me to pull this one out and give it a go. It’s a little plain when cool and the rice pulp is drying on the palate. Walked to 122 as directed adds body, sweetness and the rice pulp becomes a friendly hug. Little bit more alcohol warm but in a good way. Liking it - at the right place and time. — 2 years ago

Slightly sparkling sake... Very sweet and fruity to the nose, but not nearly as sweet tasting. Very nicely balanced with a fruity clean taste. — 4 years ago
