From Juyondai, here's "Daigokujo Nama, Yamadanishiki from Banshu, Hyogo." Its defining trait is a sweetness and juicy fruit aroma that could be called the very epitome of nama genshu (unpasteurised, undiluted sake). A richly concentrated sweetness surges forward with the solid formation of a phalanx of Spartan soldiers. Having been aged for a year and a half at Tokki's, it arms itself with the complexity of rum raisin, caramel, and smoked cheese, making the assault of this dense dessert sake even more ferocious.
