4.5/5 Really nice, smooth and slightly creamy, but with a good medium acidity. Green apple, lemon zest, lychee, cream cheese, salt. Complex, delicious flavours, some of the brightest fruit flavours I’ve tasted in a sake. Hint of sweetness but pretty dry overall, finishes smooth and savoury. Enjoying this a lot! 乾杯 Also love the calligraphy on this one!

4/5 A classic! Sweet and creamy and easy to drink. Great flavours of cantaloupe, honeydew, green apple, mandarin orange, cream, honey. Love the creaminess. Great fruity flavours. Pretty sweet but not cloying and still feels mature. Medium acidity works interestingly with the creaminess. Not too many bitter notes but they work with the melon flavours. Had this several times before and it’s always good!

4.25/5 ☆ Wow! Really like this, it’s crisp and fresh and almost a little tangy but has a bold, almost creamy finish. Green apple, fresh corn, honeydew melon, honey, vanilla, almond, cream cheese. Complex, takes you on a flavour journey, with twists and turns and a satisfying finish. There’s a hint of sweetness that builds then fades, but overall fairly dry. I love the fresher fruit flavours in this. 乾杯!

4.25/5 Very nice! Sweeter than any (unflavoured) sake I’ve had before. A hint of acidity, very clean flavour, a bit of bitterness on the finish but it’s not too strong. Great flavours of banana, cantaloupe, papaya, raw sugar, and a hint of lime zest and salt on the end. There’s almost a creamy quality throughout that I really enjoy, like white chocolate. Enjoying this a lot, great with gyoza. 乾杯!

2.5/5 Brewed in the US, in Folsom, California. Not very good, I use it for cooking. Thought it would be fun to try to review it. It’s still drinkable though, pretty light and clean to start but then gets sharp and unpleasantly bitter at the end. Not many distinguishable flavours: graphite, acetone, corn? It would be pretty fine if the finish wasn’t so bad. Still, this isn’t America’s fault I don’t think, I’ve had cheap Japanese sake that tasted similarly poor.

3.75/5 Clean, crisp, smooth, lightly sweet, some bitterness in the background but never too strong. Banana and honeydew melon, a hint of lime zest. Ginny aftertaste, but not strong. Really like how clean it tastes, and maybe it’s just the branding but there’s an oceanic quality as well. Pretty enjoyable nice and ice cold!
