Reviews and Ratings

Perry rated this wine as 90/100
Nigori Sake Homare Strawberry from Fukushima Prefecture is fresh wild strawberries on the palate with fresh, tropical fruit aromas. This is a real summer sipper at 7.8% alcohol. Commonly referred to as "unfiltered" sake, nigori literally means "cloudy," and refers to sake that still contains rice solids. Nigori styles range from frizzante to sparkling. Serve this delicately sweet one chilled with a fresh fruit flan or by itself, as dessert. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
