Today's Drink (non-beer)

[Palama]

Saw this on sale and on a whim, asked my wife if she could buy this for me for my birthday as well as Father’s Day (…get our kids to kick in…). And I’ll be damned, she said “yes”! Gonna be busting it open next Sunday for dinner with the family and pretty sure I’ll be too drunk to remember to post anything.

Edit: had 5, mebbe 6 (sake-size) cups. Super smooth and don’t feel nearly as buzzed as I thought I would be. Really good stuff but not really affordable on a regular basis. Have maybe half the bottle left so a few more nights to enjoy.

Daishichi Minowamon Junmai Daiginjo Sake

Our son brought this back from Japan. He paid $20-something and it was frickin’ delicious! I mean, one of the best we’ve had since he brought back the Amabuki sake a few years ago or the Dassai 23 last year. Anyway, checked to see if this was available online and the places that had it were asking mid-$80s! Sheesh, I mean, I understand there’s shipping, tariffs, taxes, etc. but the middleman markups are just killer!

Is it good?

Very sweet, Matt. There are tequila notes but it's similar in viscosity and sweetness (but not flavor) to Amaretto I'd say.

Dassai 23 (300 ml)

Mother’s Day sake. Incredibly delicious!
