3.75/5 Not half bad, crisp and clean with a robust savoury finish. Papaya, Asian pear, bitter honey, almond, biscuit. Initial light fruits give way to a nutty almost meaty finish. Pretty dry but some light sweetness to start. Some bitterness but not too strong. It’s pretty solid but it’s not my favourite, could be a bit brighter and smoother. But it’s tasty! Got this in a gift-set with two branded ochoko for the same price as just buying the bottle on its own!

2.5/5 Brewed in the US, in Folsom, California. Not very good, I use it for cooking. Thought it would be fun to try to review it. It’s still drinkable though, pretty light and clean to start but then gets sharp and unpleasantly bitter at the end. Not many distinguishable flavours: graphite, acetone, corn? It would be pretty fine if the finish wasn’t so bad. Still, this isn’t America’s fault I don’t think, I’ve had cheap Japanese sake that tasted similarly poor.
