4+/5 Was expecting this to be really sweet but it’s actually surprisingly dry. There’s initially some sweetness and a good bit of acidity but it fades quickly to a dry finish. Bright and fruity with a slightly bitter nuttiness. Green apple, lime, honeydew, honey, almond, quinine. There’s an interesting slight fizzy tingling feeling on the tongue. One of the tangiest sakés I’ve yet tried. Pretty fun and loving the festive design!

4.25+/5 Very tasty, light and fun sparkling saké. Fruity and light with good tang. Clean finish. Green pear, green apple, citrus, honey. Real big pear flavour. Medium-light sweetness. Fresh and bright. If I had it blind I might think it was an apple cider or a perry, but a gentle ricy saké flavour comes through in the background. Everything is smooth and works together. Good lower alcohol option, fun bubbles and delicious flavour. Really loving the pear. Happy new year to all! Cheers!

4.25/5 Wow, very interesting and not quite like any other saké I’ve had. Honeydew melon, pear, golden raisin, chestnut, smoked meat. Creamy, sweet but restrainedly so. Very nice fruit flavours up top, a deep nutty chestnut with that distinct savouriness, and an undeniable faint smoky flavour on the finish. Definitely some meatiness as well. A unique flavour journey. Intriguing, keeps you coming back for another taste, just to make sure it’s real.

4.25/5 Light and delicate but with bold depth. Coconut, marzipan, Asian pear, malted cocoa. Somewhat creamy, but pretty light-bodied. There’s a noticeable but restrained nutty bitterness, with hint of pear in the background. Quite faint sweetness, very little acidity. Gentle yet confident, really enjoying this!

4+/5 Confident semi-sweet nigori. White chocolate, marzipan, ginger, cream cheese, molasses, concrete, pear. Fairly strong bitterness, nutty and earthy, but the medium sweetness balances it out. Faint acidity. Somewhat creamy, but robust. Distant fruitiness. Chunky. Pretty nice stuff! It’s got more bitterness than I’d usually prefer, but the sweetness makes it palatable, but at the same time it’s a nice restrained sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm. And the flavours are great!

4+/5 Indeed tastes a bit strawberry-like. Would I still have thought that if I didn’t know the yeasty inclusion beforehand? Not sure… either way, it’s fun and flavourful. Strawb, pear, almond, coconut, ginger, stone. Faintly sweet, dry pretty quickly and gets a little sharp and spicy with some bitterness toward the end. I could have it a bit smoother, but I suspect it will develop nicely as it sits for a few days. For now it’s quite good with food. A little acidity might be nice too.

Hello sake-run! Long time no see, I don't drink sake very often these days... but I have a good bottle. I had somen today and it was very good with sake! It was hot. Best wishes from Kashu!

4.25/5 Good stuff, light with gentle flavours and pleasantly dry. Marzipan, chamomile, white chocolate, chestnut, lychee, stone. Just a tiny hint of sweetness, overall pretty dry. Fairly smooth but with a bit of power behind it, but nowhere near too bitter. Interesting almost savoury nuttiness. Went very well with quite a lot of sashimi.

3.75/5 Flavourful, clean, slightly tangy, faintly creamy, nutty, and bitter. Yuzu, Asian pear, salted sourdough, dark chocolate, black walnut, liquorice. The flavours are very nice but it’s just too strong for my tastes, at the end leaves you with a lasting bitter aftertaste. Better paired with a salty snack (roasted nori potato chips), but regular sips of water are still needed. This is probably very good but I think most karakuchi are a bit too strong for me. But overall I can enjoy this.

4.25+/5 Very nice stuff! Cantaloupe, cocoa, cream, honeysuckle. Smooth and lightly creamy. Nicely blended delicate flavours with big cantaloupe at the forefront. Pretty dry with only a light suggestion of sweetness near the finish. Almost no acidity. Some balanced earthy bitter notes that go well with the melon flavour. I don’t know if I’ve had a saké that was quite this dry while still managing to be so light and smooth before. Really enjoying this!

3.75/5 Not bad, fairly powerful. Marzipan, white chocolate, pear, walnut, stone. The flavours are all very nice, but there’s a pretty strong bitterness that’s a little too strong for my tastes. Still, there’s a nice gentle sweetness and a pleasant smooth texture.

4.25/5 Nice and flavourful! Yellow apple, pear, almond, white chocolate, chamomile, stone. Crisp and smooth and deeply flavoured. Pretty dry, light background sweetness. Medium-low acidity creates a great balance. Sight bit of bitterness but well rounded. Great accompaniment to a sashimi platter.

4+/5 Very tasty stuff, acidic and bold with a smooth finish. Pear, cherry, chocolate, pecan, butterscotch. It’s fruity at first but then quickly dives into a rich and slightly bitter chocolate cherry flavour, and finishes with an earthy nuttiness. There’s a little bit of acidity initially, along with some sweetness, semi-strong bitterness, and dry finish. Not quite what I was expecting, but flavourful and interesting.

Hi! They sell Hekiju too! Very good sake. But I haven't been able to drink this Hekiju and Hyakusyu yet. I'm so disappointed! But they were expensive, weren't they?

Hello sake-run! I had a drink at a fancy sushi place near me. They had a sake menu. But this sake is the only sake in the boar cup. But it was delicious, and so was the sushi! Reasonably priced ($15).

4/5 REPOST: Confusing, when I first opened it I hated it, the next day I hated it, a week later it’s pretty good. Kiwi, grape, coconut, almond, stone. When I opened it it was way too bitter with a high acidity and a flavour reminiscent of cough syrup. I thought it was gross. A week on and it’s smooth and the slightest bit creamy and not gross. This is confusing, I don’t understand why this would happen. Should I be letting all my bottle sit for a week? Surely not. Anyway, it’s not bad now.

3.75+/5 Big flavour, light acidity. Yellow apple, red grape, cola, tutti-frutti, mushroom, walnut, wet concrete. Opened this yesterday and it was just too bitter and didn’t taste very good. I let it sit in the refrigerator for a day and now it’s tasting pretty good! It’s fairly smooth but robust, slightly sweet, with a medium-low acidity. A strong nutty quality. A bit of bitterness still but much more smoothed out. Interesting but still a little strong for my tastes. Better with food.

3.75/5 Interesting saké, on the drier side but still bright and slightly fruity. Cornbread, green pear, caramel, hazelnut, autumn leaves, stone. Fairly dry, but there’s a whisper of sweetness, mainly initially. It’s got an interesting light acidity. A bit of a lighter body which makes it more refreshing, which is nice. Some nutty bitterness on the finish but not too strong. Overall pretty enjoyable though not entirely to my tastes. It’s not that it’s too dry, it’s just a little too bitter.

3.5+/5 Another kinda sketchy one, seems to actually be from Kobe but I have no idea who brewed it. Again, I kinda don’t mind it though, this one is very light and pleasantly flavoured. Muscat grape, almond paste, vanilla, persimmon, stone. Alcohol is only 11.5, so it’s very light, there’s a hint of sweetness initially but it is pretty dry by the finish. A faint little bit of acidity. A little savoury bitterness. It’s actually not too bad!

3.5+/5 Okay, I’ll admit this one is a little sketchy. According to the sparse website it’s “made by one of the top sake breweries in japan”, and then it doesn’t mention the name of that brewery, nor does it say which prefecture it’s from. That being said it’s pretty fine, light pleasant flavours, hint of sweetness, dry finish. Milk chocolate, anise, chamomile, honeydew melon, almond paste. Light body, slightly spiced background bitterness. Apparently from Japan, drinkable though mysterious.

3.5+/5 Very interesting and flavourful saké, a little on the strong dry side for me. Corn, butterscotch, milk chocolate, pecan, graphite. Some nice flavours but there’s a bit too much bitterness for me, or maybe it’s just a little too dry for my tastes. Not much sweetness at all, maybe a hint of acidity. Tastes a bit unique, so still fun to try. Interesting yellowish hue.
