This shiboritate, along with the two I posted today, are part of Ide’s seasonal sake offerings. And Ide is, as far as I know, the only brewery in the Fuji Five Lakes area.

Koshu by Grace Wine (2024) - 3 ⭐ Peach, but mixed in with lime, and something like ripening apple and white pepper. Middle point between a verdejo and a godello. ¥3630. I’m starting to think I need to go for reds, and higher up the price range. via @winesky.app 🍷 #winesky #japanesewine #koshu
