2024 National New Sake Competition Gold Medal Winner ❗️
Fresh and fruity aroma 🍈.
The mouthfeel is...as expected of a gold medal winning sake❗️
The clarity is outstanding, with a spring-like minerality and a beautifully sharp mouthfeel that is enchanting 😋.
The gradual and gentle spread of umami and dry sharpness is wonderfully balanced. ❗️
It has a clean aftertaste, yet is still very satisfying. It is the kind of drink that makes you want to drink it one after another. ❗️
Delicious 🤤🤤🤤🤤
I had a small bottle with a retro label in the car on the way home. It tasted like the L'Isle we had previously, dry and delicious with a stimulating sensation on the tongue. You can drink it without getting tired of it.
I recently drank a light nigori version of Natsu Jungin, which is like oyster ice with white syrup, although the light cloudiness of the cotton candy somewhat diminishes the rummy feeling. I'd rather drink it with ice. I'd rather drink it with ice, because that way I can drink more, or rather I want to drink more.
A schwarzenegger rum! I drink a bottle of hi-ire every year, but this is the first time for me. It is lightly cloudy and full of flavor...a refreshing bottle with a hint of sweetness and sourness, and a dry finish!
