I rarely buy daiginjo’s due to the price tag and light flavor profile. But the sweetness and ricey umami notes in this one did not disappoint. Great on its own and with sashimi. 4.25/5

Bottle opened with a fizz. Light yellowish color. Slight fizziness on the tongue. Taste is rich. This is a juicy, tropical fruit/umami bomb. But with a clean and short finish making you ready for the next sip. Not your standard mellow autumn sake, but I love it. 4.75/5
