The sake I ordered was much better then I expected, however, it was just a little dry for my taste. The over all flavor was exquisite and smooth, unlike any sake I've ever tasted. I can not wait to see what I try next. I plan to buying at least 1 to 5 bottles of the higher quality sake each month. Occasionally I will try something of lower priced to see if I like it or not, but when I find that perfect sake, I will order it by the case, no matter the cost or quality. The shipping took a while but I was expecting it to take longer then most due to the fact that it was being shipped from over seas. The wait only made my anticipation more thrilling when I received it. Thank you tippsy. I am thrilled with finding your internet sight.
