Onigoroshi ginjo sake or (more expensive) Seiryo aged sake or (drier) Umenishiki daiginjo sake or Gekkeikan Horin daiginjo sake (all should be available at Astor Wines if you are in NYC)...

carafe of a junmai daiginjo. $60 with tax and tip. Cheap plane ticket.

including nigorizake, junmai, ginjo, and daiginjo. Ideally some sparkling sake as well. Arigato in advance!

Olympic Miyagi Oysters, with components from the sea – Mr CF said this was fabulous Laurent Perier First: Hamachi Carpaccio – my favorite appetizer! Star Filled Sky Junmai Daiginjo Sake – this is the first sake I...

. With two large carafes of junmai daiginjo and a few teas thrown in, the bill came out to be 70 a piece, not including tax. Service was unremarkable either way. Decor is little helter skelter. I keep finding myself back here...

of ingrediends, great presentation, and a terrific match with the server-recommended sake (the junmai daiginjo “demon slayer”). Should have ordered a whole flask, as I slurped down my 5oz glass with abandon. It was...

dry, more fruity options. The cloudy, unfiltered stuff (which they carry) is also a must try. A bit of nomenclature for you: ginjo = premium sake and daiginjo = super premium. Amazing what delights can be produced from the humble...

Daiginjo sake or with a Canadian riesling that is NOT an icewine. (It’s just a 2003 Inniskillin black label) With the riesling i’d be going with the complement vs. contrast theory in that it will be a rich, luscious,...

the place, Mishima-san, goes back many years with the owner of the sake shop where I take classes, so they mainly serve brands you can find at the shop. I had hot sake—a Jokigen junmaishu—while my friend drank a cold...

and ultra-smooth finish. We were both impressed. Francesc had never tried a daiginjo, so he indulged me by ordering the Tsukasabotan Shizuku daiginjo ($25). Alas, this was out of stock and we had instead a masu of Wakatake...

but well chosen sake list, last year we had an excellent daiginjo, I forget the brewery and/or region. Btw I finally made it to Kikuchi a few weeks back and enjoyed my meal, I’ll post a reply to your thread at some point.

, the cilantro kicked in. Really a fantastic dish. I had this with a glass of sake – Wakatake Onokoroshi, a daiginjo. My feeling is this: it was a delicious glass, but I’ve decided that I don’t like drinking...

lots of good suggestions here. for “drinks first”, start with some (chilled) sake at Sake Nomi (Washington between 1st and Western), they offer a few free tastes, along with expert commentary, and usually also some...
