Tasting Notes: Aromas of yellow grapefruit skin and a hint of ripe strawberry. On the palate, the flavors head toward apricot, tangy kiwi, and a touch of grapefruit rind. This light-medium bodied sake presents a unique combination of a dry, crisp sake that also has amazing complexity of flavor and umami-like persistence on the finish. Great balance too. Tozai represents a unique collaboration between the sixth-generation Japanese sake brewery Daimon Shuzo, the British-born Master Sake Brewer Philip Harper, the prominent Kyoto-based American artist Daniel Kelly (who designed the front label), and America's leading importer of chilled, premium, artisan Japanese sake, Vine Connections. Tozai means "East-West" in Japanese and evokes the spirit of the alliance that created this special sake.

Rating: Very Good
Fruity on the nose, with expressive lychee, star fruit, pineapple and guava flavors.

Tozai (300 ml) 'Well of Wisdom' Ginjo
Rating: 89
Pale silvery straw color. Paper mache, overripe melon and nutty nougat aromas follow through on a round entry to a dryish medium body with cashew fruit and honeyed phyllo dough notes. Finishes with a quick, crisp melon fruit, honey and nut fade. Interesting
