I am a third generation Japanese living in Hawaii. My first Sake, Dewazakura Ooka, started my quest to learn more about Sake. Always tasting, always learning.

I'm revisiting this Sake because the Sake store I go to did not have anything new. I do enjoy the juicy mouth feel and the light finish. The ripe apple flavor is refreshing and tasty. Even the store owner knows I like Mutsuhassen. ๐Ÿ˜‹

This Sake is mild and lightly sweet. There is a mild earthy flavor with a hint of melon. The mouth feel is light, a little dry and the finish is long. It is easy to drink and in a strange way comfortable. ๐Ÿค”

This Sake is light and dry. The subtle sweetness is a bit fruity. The flavor of apple is mild and there is also the flavor of alcohol. The finish is clean and dry. This is a little different from other Niigata Sake I drank in the past and it's good.

This Sake has a mellow mouth feel and a smooth sweetness. A well balanced acidity gives this a clean finish. The flavor of sweet apple matches the intensity of the smoothness to make this very enjoyable. Beautiful.

This Sake is light and dry. It has a mellow, smooth mouth feel. There are flavors of wood with a hint of apple. The finish is dry and clean. I like the dryness of the Sake because it is not too strong or overpowering. This Sake pairs well with salty foods.

This Sake is spicy and sweet. There is a soft mouth feel and a long finish. I'm drinking this cold. I like how the sweetness and spice compliment each other. Neither flavor is dominant. At room temperature the sweetness is more noticable and the spice clears my pallet.

This Sake is called Gokami from Gojo Shuzo in Nara. It has cotton candy sweetness with just enough acidity to give it a clean finish. Very elegant and aromatic with a sweet floral scent.

This Sake is mellow and well rounded. Not too sweet, not too dry, 'just right' ... for my taste. A gentle sweetness of melon with hints of strawberry and apple. This is lovely! ๐Ÿฅฐ I can understand why this is number 1 in Iwate.
