Overall - Have heard so much about 十四代 being top of the range must try🍶. Thanks to my lovely wife’s anniversary gift to me that I managed to try my 🥇 bottle of Juyondai. Retailing at SGD800+ per Isshobin bottle. It is indeed an expensive 🍶. Bought it to my best buddy’s place to enjoy with the best company and the best 🍣. The sake is indeed a very good sake. It’s strong vanilla aroma mixed with a subtle 🍈 fragrance gives it a medium dry sweetness. It is a fairly easy to drink 🍶with low acidity and feels clean down the palate. 🍶from Yamagata prefecture, is usually well known for being clean, light, 🍬. Exactly the characteristics of this bottle. With a light and well balanced body, it really goes well with 🍱 if served at Suzu Hie and drink from a wine glass. 🥂
