Pleasantly sweet & easy-drinking! Cheap packaging made me think it would taste shitty, but it didn't! ***

Begins with grace, but becomes rough & boozy. Although I personally didn't care for the contrast, it seems to be intentional & skillfully executed. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Fresh water nose, but very flavorful once you sip. Less easy-drinking than my go to bottle of theirs, but good in a different way. In spite of the burn, this was my favorite of the fall tasting flight. Excellent w/slightly sweet turnip pickle. ****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Virtually no aroma, but quite different once you take a sip - a spicy punch right at beginning with a short finish. Very dry, spice & minerals. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Nice fragrance. Rich & soft at first, then surprised with a hit of spice. Sweeter than I'd expect for a karakuchi. A bit Robutussin-like. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Excellent for amaguchi fans, although I prefer drier sake. Slow bite, can't taste it unless you let the sake linger on the tongue. ****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Tastes, well, average. Good but nothing special. Mild bite, like other average nihonshu. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Amazing! Lots of minerality with just enough fruit for balance. Balanced sweetness & none of the bite/burn I loathe. *****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Fruity but only slightly sweet. After a 70-km bike ride on a hot summer day, it really hit the spot. Smooth with a lingering finish; best chilled. Don't know if it was psychosomatic or not, but aroma & slight sweetness reminded me of the sports drinks I'd been guzzling all day. ****

Described by waitress at Abe Liquor shop as "sukkari". So refreshing! Perfect for a summer night! Nihonshu equivalent of a gin & tonic. Fantastic gin& tonic flavors here, wow! *****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Omg smells like dessert! Respberry-chocolate-cream something. Very fruity & only a touch sweet. Best chilled. Good at first but got cloying after a few sips. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Stream water stank again, in a good way. Flavor similar to their Kotobuki, but more pure (softer & less boozy). ****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Sorta stanky aroma, but pleasantly so. Refreshing cherry & stream water flavor. A bit boozier & sweeter than their koshu. Reminds me of Hirouki. ***
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Yellowish. Unusual flavor - a bit urine-like. Rough beginning, but mellows into rustic sasparilla/rooty herb finish. ****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
A little raw-tasting 'cause 本生. Interestingly bitter & a little fizzy. *****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Drier than the 廣戸川 junmai I'd just tasted, but liked both equally. ****

Sweetish ****
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Spicy & fragrant, like curry!
Wesley Keppel-Henry
Spicy in almost a ラー way! But just a touch. Most addictive spicy sake I've ever had. Doesn't pair well with sweet foods. ****
