Takao’s Special Collections - “Koshi-No-Kanbai”
Koshi-No-Kanbai “ Muku”A unique approach to the junmai genre, this is a Ginjo sake in all but name, using Yamada-nishiki, The most sought-after brewing rice, with a 55% polishing ratio. It possesses a powerful profile, With dense rice flavor and complex intermingling of beguiling flavors that defies easy description. Medium-bodied, cleanly balanced, with a deep, lasting finish. |

Koshi-No-Kanbai “Tokusen”Koshi-no-kanbai holds a privileged position in the sake world. As one connoisseur put it, “Koshi-no^kanbai does not so much exhibit a certain flavor as a certain philosophy.” From the first sip it displays a variety of subtle, ineffable flavors, which converge and diffuse just on the edge of the mind’s awareness. It s elusive nature has given Koshi-no-kanbai the nickname “The phantom sake.” Bottle 500 ml |
$63.00 |
Koshi-No-Kanbai “ Kin-muku”Delicate yet full of flavor, reticent but at the same time engaging. “Kin-muku” is the state of the art in Junmai Ginjo sake brewing. It has an evocative flavor to chew on, a slight natural sweetness and, underlying it all, the taste and feel of clear, pure spring water. Impeccably balanced, effortlesslyr ealized and very rarely encountered: annual overseas allocation is 36 cases/year |
$0.00 |
Koshi-No-Kanbai “Cho-Tokusen”Delicately flavored, astonishingly subtle, impeccably balanced, this legendary label is the despair of sake critics in Japan, who confess that its flavor is impossible to describe. Layered nuances of enjoyment unfold on the palate for a full five seconds after the first sip. Appreciating this complex sake is more in the nature of an intellectual exercise: each taste asks the sake drinker more questions than it answers. Bottle 500 ml |
