Initially a bit of a funky nose blows off a bit definitely still sour with some soft floral back notes plus a bit of toasted rice. Medium with longish finish slightly warmed apple notes with a bit of yogurt and bitter almost smoked finish

Very tasty stuff, acidic and bold with a smooth finish. Pear, cherry, chocolate, pecan, butterscotch.
It’s fruity at first but then quickly dives into a rich and slightly bitter chocolate cherry flavour, and finishes with an earthy nuttiness.
There’s a little bit of acidity initially, along with some sweetness, semi-strong bitterness, and dry finish.
Not quite what I was expecting, but flavourful and interesting.

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!
