Among the closest shapes (at most one axis off by one step), ordered by score. Re-reviews of the same sake are excluded and each brewery appears once. Where fewer than four qualify, the next closest shapes fill the gap.
The third collaboration between Sakelab — which runs a restaurant known for pairing diverse sake with creative cuisine, plus a YouTube channel with over 60,000 subscribers — and Senkin, the celebrated sake of Tochigi. A light sweetness and acidity like muscat grape and lemon intertwine exquisitely with a creaminess from the usunigori character. Enjoy a freshly made nama (unpasteurised) sake, so vividly fresh it feels like waking up.
