$185 750mL bottle split with a friend and Oishii in Boston!
From first sniff to the first sip, I was in love. My first daiginjo, so take this rating with a grain of salt, but I must admit, I was quite shocked.
I was expecting daiginjos to be the austere, conservative, flawless/perfectly executed type, but perhaps lacking a bit in some funky character. Nope, not this one anyways.
Legs and all, with as clear and clean an appearance as I’ve seen. Fruity notes abound and it almost seems to have as much body and substance to it as a nigori. But yet, the liquid never seems heavy nor does drinking the stuff get fatiguing. Rich, but yet spritzy and playful, with tangerines, apricots, peaches and rosehips. Wow. Sensory overload and truly divine. Worth the price tag, in my mind. The flavor somewhat outdid the aroma in sheer complexity.
