Wow, boozy. Face-grimacingly so. A little sweet & quite fruity which, along w/thick texture, makes it smoothie-like. Retains distinct flavor profile of this brewery's offerings, incl hints of melon & apple. Better than most nigori, which I find undrinkable. Really rich & filling - took me the entire train ride from Inawashiro to Koriyama to finish the cup. Cheesecake-like finish if you wait long enough. ****

The perfect sake?? Pleasantly dry with complex minerality, yet no astringency or burn. *****

Long, boozy finish like the other genshu I've had, sans burn, like a fine aged liquor. Dry but major muscat. ****

Listed as a karakuchi but has a yeasty, rotting-fruit flavor that makes it seem sweeter. An easy-drinking sweet (to me) sake. Good smooth finish. Good for cider fans. ****

Much fruitier aroma than their junmai. Sweet but also a bit cloying & astringent. My least favorite of the Hakubotan line. **

Pleasantly earthy, floral aroma. Much lighter & drier than the Hakubotan genshu. Wish I'd tried it before genshu, 'cause sampling it afterwards made it taste bland. ***

The brewery boasts that there's no added sugar in their amazake, just the lees' natural sweetness. Very surprising considering how overly-sweet it is. **
