For this issue, we are featuring some of our top bestsellers, that have been reviewed by some of our top-buying customers. They have volunteered their reviews and we hope to share with you the beauty of a Japanese drinks-loving community which helps us to understand and choose Sake better. To share your thoughts about the Sakes you bought, head on over to our shop to leave them! If you can’t remember you bought before, just drop us an email at [email protected] !
We have sold over 25 bottles of this in the past month and we are glad that people enjoyed the story about how the Moon Series Sake from Kaetsu Brewery came about. If you haven’t read it, you should subscribe to our blog!
Mr. Liang Zhong: “Has a sweet
smell and it really does go well with
Sashimi.”

Jyudaime)(Junmai)Dai)Ginjo))720ml)))
Mr. Liang Zhong: “A little stronger than Mangetsu, and it goes well with all kinds of
Japanese food.”
Mr. Rab Ang: “A very good Sake!”
Made from Yamadanishiki rice (King of Sake rice), a strong flavour and nose of Ginjo perfumes through the first pour. On the palate, a gentle
umami touch and a smooth texture when it goes down. The concentrated flavour creates a long, pleasant finish.
Did we know? Great on its own already, Joe brought it back from Japan to be the sole distributor of this Sake. It was not until when we had the food tasting in November that we found it was hard to pair anything with this Sake but Japanese food! Which means Liang Zhong discovered this fact long before we realised it! Moral of the story: You never know until you try!

NEW ARRIVAL
White)Cocoa)Liqueur))300)ml)))Straight on the rocks, it tastes almost like a Bailey’s because of its milky texture and ingredients. However, it’s a lighter version that is more like a light chocolate milkshake. Delicious already on its own, do try it by adding some Junmai Sake in the ratio of approximately 2:1. Marvel as you taste how the flavor completely transforms into something quite, quite different!
