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.
PAIRINGCOMING SOON
A sake made by a young brewer aiming to obtain a new seishu (refined sake) manufacturing licence. Since he can't legally brew sake yet, he uses 100% koji rice and sells it under the "other brewed alcohol" category instead. A pineapple-like aroma paired with a sharp, spicy kick you won't find in regular sake — a very dry sake.
