It was a rainy, chilly date night with my wife. We left our four month old daughter with my in-laws, saw a matinee movie, and then checked out a new sushi and Asian fusion restaurant near my in-laws' place that they'd recommended. Beyond good food and a great ambience, they had this fine stuff behind the bar...as any good Japanese establishment should. I was impressed; even in a rocks glass, the nose is pleasantly floral, with a bit of fresh stone fruit, light vanilla, and a bit of spice...almost incense. The palate most definitely has sandalwood and cedarwood, along with vanilla, milk chocolate, lemon peel, a little peach, and a tiny hint of smoke. It made a great accompaniment to sashimi. I don't know that I would spring for a bottle at its current $60-ish asking price, but as a go-to for sushi dates with my wife....I'll gladly bite.
