Had a great visit up to Medfield and Farthest Star. The brewer/founder was also involved in Massachusetts first Sake brewery, Dovetail, and this time there's a taproom and a bunch of fun new styles.
The taproom is conveniently located in the same industrial complex as 7th Wave Brewing. Its BYO-food, and the day of my visit there was a pop up Korean food stall. They also have cheap and good Japanese snacks right be hind the bar, wasabi peas, rice crackers, shrimp flavored chips, all the favorites. The vibe has something of the cafeteria in a warehouse to it, I kinda dig it. It's a perfect match for a takeout pizza from a place like Crisp (about 10 min away), which has great bar pie and all of the ambiance of a gas station donut counter.
And for the real purpose of the visit, the sake was very good. They pour a very broad range of styles (something for everyone) leaning toward lighter fruitier types.
The favorites on my trip, In a Strange Land, which is their "flagship" Junmai sake. Its flavor is pretty, lightly tropical, dry and clean. And the beautiful Barbarella's Elixir, it's purple hue and flowery candy flavor a result of the Ube sweet potato it's brewed with.
Pretty Great Sake A-
