4.25/5 Cream cheese, banana, pear, white chocolate, ginger, raw almond. Thick and creamy, pretty chunky stuff. Medium-low sweetness but fairly savory and a little meaty. Smooth with a bit of bitterness on the finish. Been drinking this over the course of at least two weeks and it’s held up very well throughout.

4.25/5 Pear, cantaloupe, cocoa, coconut cream, almond paste. Nice and lightly creamy for a nigori. Medium sweet, slight tang, balancing bitterness. Robust, fruity, and flavorful. I’ve been drinking this over the course of about two weeks and it’s been delicious throughout.

4.25/5 Honeydew, almond paste, yellow apple, coconut meat, stone. Light acidity and faint sweetness with a nice nutty bitterness. Clean, smooth, and well balanced. Goes down easy but feels sophisticated. Had as part of an omakase pairing, went very well with quality sushi.

4.25+/5 Coconut milk, pear, cantaloupe, honeysuckle, almond paste, cocoa. Light and smooth, almost creamy. Lightly sweet, pinch of acidity, feels delicate but there’s some strength in the background. Elegant and delicious, perfect for pairing with sushi!

4+/5 Asian pear, walnut, ginger, fennel, celery, caraway seed. And indeed a bit of something reminiscent of a meaty green olive. Initially feels light but quickly becomes strong and flavorful. Fairly dry, but there’s a gentle sweetness, medium-low bitterness. Goes well with food. Has a bit of a bite near the finish. I’ve had this open for like three weeks now and it’s tasted good all the way through. Definitely an interesting one to try!

4+/5 Light, creamy, smooth, and nutty. Coconut cream, butterscotch, cantaloupe, liquorice, walnut. Feels delicate and light-bodied but the flavours are strong. Nicely soft and creamy texture in the mouth. Very nutty finish with slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall pretty dry. Brewed in Hawaii, fun find! I had this last month but had to wait for the brand to be added to the database.

ヰリアム
4.25+/5 Butterscotch, coconut meat, honeydew, Asian pear, marzipan, fennel. Delicate flavours, but there’s power and complexity. Slightly sweet, medium-low acidity. Smooth and light with a bit of gentle cream. Nutty bitterness on the finish with a slight bite. I don’t know to what extent aging has affected the flavour. I thought the liquid itself would have a bit of a pink hue, but it’s really just the bottle, a little disappointing. Pink or clear, fresh or old, it’s delicious though!

4.25/5 Also strong and sweet. Sweet and nutty and slightly meaty, chestnut-like. Chocolate-covered blackcurrant, roasted hazelnut, black pepper, honeysuckle. Theres a flavour there that feels very familiar, but I just can’t quite describe. Delicate flavours but bold and complex. Medium sweet but quite strong stuff. This is a very interesting and unique saké that I’m really happy to try as part of this set. However, overall, the original Funaguchi is still my favourite.

4+/5 Strong and sweet with a smooth depth. Big cocoa and walnut flavour with persimmon and raisin. Gentle slightly peppery spice flavours, maybe a hint of ginger and allspice. Really interesting and flavourful, fun to try as part of this three-pack set. The aging gives a slight caramel tint, but I guess this doesn’t count as koshu? If I compare with the regular yellow nama-genshu, I like the original better, but this is still very good in its own right.

3.75+/5 Whopping indeed. Other sparkling sakés I’ve had have all been very light, so this is a big divergence. Probably the strongest sparkling beverage I’ve had, wine included. And yet, despite that strength, light and delicate bubbles. Butterscotch, cantaloupe, Asian pear, candied pecan, burnt caramel. Quite bitter, slightly sweet, faint acidity. I think I like the still version better honestly, the alcoholic strength makes the delicate bubbles hard to appreciate. But still pretty fun!

4+/5 Really nice and light. Lightly sweet and tangy, real clean flavour. Very light but pleasant bubbles. Big honeydew melon with a bit of green apple, and some clean rice flavour. Hint of raw almond on the finish, with very light bitterness as well. Simple but effective!

4/5 Butterscotch, almond, persimmon. Strong but smooth, fairly alcoholic. Light on the fruit, but still a pinch of acidity. Fairly dry, slightly meaty. Some bitterness on the finish. Had this over about two weeks, it smoothed out a bit over time, but kept a distinct bite. Not unpleasant though. I’d prefer a bit more fruitiness, but this was enjoyable. Forgot to post this last month!

4.25/5 Delicate, lightly sweet, hint of acidity, somewhat bitter finish. Persimmon, pear, chocolate, walnut. Light body, delicate flavours, but it packs a punch. Pretty tasty, at first there was a little more bitterness than I’d prefer, but after breathing a little it’s smoothed out quite nicely. Fun little single serving, but I wouldn’t mind a full bottle of this stuff!

4.25/5 Nice with ice! Strong, clean, and slightly creamy. Banana, curaçao, coconut cream, almond paste, butterscotch, Asian pear. Indeed summery, like a pool party—though I could see it working any time of year, honestly. As the ice melts and waters it down the experience changes. Initially it’s full of flavour but a little strong, then it’s quite light and smooth and refreshing. A little more acidity might’ve been nice. I’ve been enjoying this over about two weeks, still really good!

4.25/5 Delicate yet confident, smooth and slightly creamy, delicious. Honeysuckle, cantaloupe, white chocolate, coconut, yellow apple. Fairly light but slightly syrupy. Measured medium-low sweetness. Faint hint of acidity. Smooth but slightly hot on the finish. Great cold on a hot day, but I feel like it would work pretty well in most seasons. I’ve had this open for about a week but wanted to take pictures during the daytime and kept forgetting. Still just as good as when I opened it!

4.25+/5 Surprisingly good stuff! Lightly sweet, quite strong, with a clean finish. Cocoa, pear, banana, almond paste. Fairly sweet up front, a brief hint of tang, and drier by the finish. Slightly syrupy and with a faint creaminess. Big cocoa with gentle fruits. Nutty almost savoury aftertaste. Strong and alcoholic, bitterness throughout, but all the way tempered by the sweetness Day 2: I like it even more, it’s smoother and creamier. I want a whole bottle!

4.25/5 Bright, medium-light, and full of flavour. Cantaloupe, pear, honeysuckle, almond. Big flavourful melon, with a nice light and floral fruitiness. Feels slightly sweet at first, but it’s overall on the dry side, especially once paired with food. The finish is meaty and slightly savoury, but overall refreshing. Went well with a 散らし丼 and 納豆巻.

4.25/5 Good stuff, dry but fruity and smooth with a bit of a tang. Pear, honeydew, almond, ginger, cocoa, coconut. Great fruity flavours, maybe a hint of sweetness, but it’s pretty dry, with a nice medium-low acidity. Slight creaminess, a bit of bitterness, well balanced. Went well with oden and karaage.

4.25/5 Smooth yet strong. Cantaloupe, coconut, pecan, butterscotch, cocoa, stone. Has a lot of sweet flavours, but very little sweetness. It’s quite dry, just a tiny hint. No real discernible acidity. Somewhat strong, light bitterness, slightly thick feeling. Love the contrasts, it’s good with savoury food. I have a feeling this will taste even better in a few days, so I better not drink it all now.

4/5 Nice light-bodied taru. Faint sweetness, with a gentle perfumed bitterness. Honeydew, raw almond, juniper, cedar, stone. The woodsy herbal notes are really nice. There’s the faintest fruitiness, but mainly just a neutral honied sweetness. Bitterness on the finish balances well. Reminds me a little of gin, especially with the junipery note. I like it, but could be a little more smooth. Good with food.
