Kurosawa Sake
Today's discovery (ok, it was last night's discovery, but I try not to drink and post)
Kurosawa Sake
We had this at a local Japanese restaurant, Saji-Ya. The review of that experience is here.
Of course we bought it because it's named after one of the greatest Film directors of all time. Nice that it turned out to be really tasty. This sake was lovely and light, nice rich aromas of caramel and chocolate, but not sweet, not bone dry either, well balanced. I'll be seeking it out since the company Mr. Booze works for doesn't carry any Sake.
If you see it on a menu somewhere, I'd recommend you give it a try.
The 'official' description from the brewing company:
In the Japanese art and tradition of sake, the KIMOTO brewing process is rare. Few sake breweries are able to provide the meticulous hand brewing steps required of the KIMOTO title. This smooth, dry sake will enhance any cuisine, any occasion. Countless years of tradition are captured in every bottle and every distinctive taste of Kurosawa Jun-Mai Kimoto.

Actually...Kurosawa sake is not named after director Kurosawa Akira. Kurosawa is a common last name in Japan.
