Fairly bold steamed rice aromas out the gate. Look behind the rice and you'll find a pleasant little arrangement of banana, nectarine and grape. Very clean on the palate. Smooth, with a slight hint of dairy, but mostly a solid serving of rice notes underpinned with umami dryness. There's perhaps a suggestion of something like almond milk in there too. Aroma is very pleasant for a honjozo, but I find the palate a little lacking in character. 3.25/5 Happy sake day.
