Chilled
Pink color. A bit of acetone on the nose. Slightly rough mouthfeel. Bracing acid hit with dry strawberry flavor that lingers. Would pair well with most foods but feels a bit too astringent without.

Nose is floral and turpentine. Strong muscat flavor that is almost overpowering and wine like in flavor. Finish is apples.
Definitely not my favorite as it lacks delicacy.
On the second day I decided this was not for me at all and dumped it. Which I have never done before. Did I get a bad bottle?

Room temp
Sweetness and acidity in equal measure. Works well at room temp and with sushi and salmon. Mouthfeel is slightly rough which adds some character.
Flavors are a bit generic but not in a terrible way. Very drinkable and a good choice for food pairing
tknx
Chilled
Dry with a little bit of bite on initial taste. Rough almost carbonated mouth feel and a bit of bracing bitterness on the relatively quick finish. Maybe a hint of grape (but not in a wine kind of way)
Overall good but seems to lack a strong distinguishing character.

Chilled
Cantaloupe bomb on initial taste. Then, oddly, cardamom and banana esters. The finish is just more banana.
It works. But is surprising.

Banana on the nose. Slightly strong alcohol bitter initially but gives way to cantaloupe midway and hints of strawberry. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel which is at odds with its lightness but it works together to create higher interest.

More like a semi-dry, has a long peach aftertaste and a light bit of acidity, would be good with lighter foods.

Strong astringent cedar that softens over time. Relatively dry.
Initial notes are overwhelmed a bit but maybe a bit of Apple. Later notes are white plum but the cedar still dominates.
tknx
Concord grapes. Thick mouth feel with slight effervescence and a kind of dark carbonic bitterness in the beginning.
Fig afternotes.

Chilled
Banana profile initially with a nice initial acidity that transforms into melons that lasts for a while.
tknx
Chilled
Apricot and plum flavors initially. Sweet but not sickly so with a long lingering floral taste.

Drank chilled at home.
Very dry with slight fruit and a relatively short finish. Good acidity to cut through food. A bit hot from alcohol.

Chilled
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…
tknx
Nice 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.

Chilled
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.
tknx
Strong alcohol undercurrent.
Pineapple notes and a bit of floral finish. Finish is a bit standard
tknx
Light banana flavors on initial taste, thick mouthfeel, finish lingers. Maybe not the most complex
Room temp.
tknx
Fruit forward with cantaloupe flavors. Good at slightly below room temp. Good, long astringency aftertaste. Versatile
tknx
Thick mouthfeel, like syrup. Adding to the overall sweetness. Almost like a ice wine in character.
Drank at room temp.
tknx
Lots of earthy flavor, with a slight bit of sweetness. It almost has a cola-esque finish…
