Three Japanese blends sit close together this week, each a different strength. Kurayoshi The Tottori costs $3 more a bottle than Tenjaku Blended, yet at 43% against 40% it's the cheaper drink: $3.12 a standard drink against $3.21. Per standard drink: - Tenjaku, 40%: $3.21, raw grain and old wood, vanilla over bourbon-barrel sweetness - Kurayoshi The Tottori, 43%: $3.12, floral, orange blossom and honey - The Shinobu, 43%: $3.75, clean and refined, a touch of Mizunara oak All three pour for less than a pint at the pub. Honey, grain or Mizunara, there's a yes here for each.
