sakedetroit300ml. Impressive marketing, with the unique bottle, label, and cloth on top of the cap. Label is a bit too "busy" for my tastes, and totally eschews the traditional labeling format used in Japan (not always a bad thing for foreign markets, but a bit much here).
Inside we find a very tasty JDG, light-bodied with notes of pear and melon. A bit expensive to drink on the regular (this 300ml was $20.99), but a delicious treat on occasion.
sakedetroit720 ml. Very mild, drinkable junmai -- one of the better ones I've had lately. Same quality level as the previously reviewed Sōtō Junmai, but without the mild alcohol bite at the end (despite the slightly higher ABV of 14.9%).
sakedetroit720 ml. Like the bottle. The text on the label is a bit scattered, but it works OK (although tough to find the information usually found easily on more traditional designs). Taste is pretty decent, although with a bit of alcohol on the back-end (despite the relatively mild 14% ABV).
sakedetroit300 ml. Ugly, cheap-looking label. Sake was unimpressive overall, but it was one of the only namazakes available in the area. No bottling date visible, so I'm wondering if it is old stock that has gone bad...
NoLoIf u want to know when it was bottled, the data is written of left side of the label.
NoLoI expect it was bottled in 2〜3years ago.
sakedetroitThanks @NoLo! Looked for it but didn't see.
sakedetroit300 ml. A very full-bodied JDG, much heavier than even many JG sakes I have tasted recently. A bit surprising -- tasted more like a junmai. Bit pricey at $15/bottle.
sakedetroit720 ml. Perfectly decent junmai sake. Noticed it on a local Asian restaurant menu and had it there, so decided to give a full bottle a try. Good price for a decent drink (around $12), but nothing special.
sakedetroit720 ml. My favorite of the last tasting bunch, very full bodied, rich flavor full of woody and cocoa notes. Higher alcohol percentage shows (16.9%).
