SuigeiHarmony Blend純米大吟醸
19
tknxChilled Strong sweet, fruit forward initial taste with high astringency that becomes a little bit too bitter at the end. Not bad but not my favorite…
若竹Wakatake Onikoroshi純米大吟醸
20
tknxNice fruit forward taste and a bit on the sweet side but not cloying. Enough acidity to stand up to food with a peach initial taste and melon finish. Probably one of the friendliest sakes I’ve had and would be a good choice to introduce someone to higher tier sake. Not sure it warrants the Demon Slayer appellation though.
ChoryuYoshinosugi no Tarusake Omachi-Yamahai純米
19
tknxChilled Strong dry cedar taste with more mellow woodsy finish. A bit of fullness in flavor with a very light citrus vibe but relatively thinner mouthfeel. A bit of alcohol vapor but not too strong.
KokuryuRyu Gold Dragon純米大吟醸
31
tknxStrong alcohol undercurrent. Pineapple notes and a bit of floral finish. Finish is a bit standard
KozaemonJunmai Ginjo純米吟醸
17
tknxLight banana flavors on initial taste, thick mouthfeel, finish lingers. Maybe not the most complex Room temp.
AkagisanJunmai Ginjo純米大吟醸
25
tknxFruit forward with cantaloupe flavors. Good at slightly below room temp. Good, long astringency aftertaste. Versatile
HakkaisanRight Peaks貴醸酒
27
tknxThick mouthfeel, like syrup. Adding to the overall sweetness. Almost like a ice wine in character. Drank at room temp.
Arizona Sake純米吟醸
22
tknxNice fragrance and acidity. Strong lingering taste and good thick mouthfeel.
花柳界Hitotokitohitotoki純米樽酒
14
tknxFermented in cedar so less overt woodsiness as other tarusake but very integrated into the whole. On the sweeter side but a bit more structure than a springtime one.
