4/5.

4/5
Simple yet pleasant. Cornbread, butter, toasted pecan, mushroom, stone.
Pretty dry, a mere whisper of sweetness initially that quickly fades. It says it’s a +3 but it tastes much drier to me. No acidity. Interestingly savoury and nutty but nice and smooth.
Probably would go perfectly with some salty snacks but I’m just having it on its own.

Another great California saké, crisp and light and smooth and refreshing. Honeydew melon, yellow apple, almond, coconut cream, burnt sugar.
Real light body, one of the lightest sakés I’ve had. Clean crisp flavours that feel bright despite the low acidity. A little bit of alcohol flavour but very light. It’s very refreshing with a light and smooth background creaminess.
Made using water from California’s Sierra Mountains, another great brew from Sho Chiku Bai USA!

Delicious nigori. Cantaloupe, cream, honey, marshmallow, coconut meat, raw almond.
Big cantaloupe flavour, nice rich smooth creaminess, interesting savoury background notes. Fairly sweet but not at all cloying with plenty of complexity and bitterness to make it feel mature.
Overall smooth, creamy, and tasty!
Another great saké brewed in California!

Good flavourful sake, very smooth and surprisingly sweet. Yellow apple, honey, golden raisin, cherry blossom, marzipan, stone.
Pretty flavourful, clean, crisp, and smooth. Very little bitterness, with a pinch of savouriness. Low acidity. Probably the sweetest non-nigori sake I’ve had, almost a little too sweet, or it could use a bit more acidity or something.

Very creamy and tasty. Cantaloupe, white chocolate, coconut cream, Swiss cheese, raw almond, stone.
Confidentially medium-plus sweet but with some interesting savoury notes. Pretty sweet but still feels mature. Deliciously creamy, but ends on a nutty more savoury finish with a surprising bitter note which isn’t overwhelming.
Truly delicious nigori brewed in the US in Berkeley, California. Proud that we can produce saké of this quality here!
Paired well gyoza.
