Another sake with 7% polishing. A bit of wooden aroma when first opened, followed with flower aroma. Sweet and aromatic sake with mango and pineapple flavor. Smooth and the umami is very strong, also the after taste is strong. Only 1,000 production each year, and the bottle design differs every year as an art piece.

The first and only sake in the world achieving 0.85% polishing. A hint of grapes and bubble gum as the first impression. A sweet sake with flavors of rice and mango. Extremely smooth with
slight umami. Only 999 bottles produced per year and each bottle requires 221 days of polishing! Interesting and precious but lacks a bit of character.

First time trying the famous Zankyo. Very aromatic with flavours of tropical fruits, especially peaches and passion fruit. Sweet with pineapple and mango palate, smooth but not much umami. As it gets warmer, the fruit flavor is even stronger. A great experience!

A special gift from Kusatsu Onsen area. When first opened, there is a strong hint of pear. But while drinking, the main flavor is rice. The sake is sweet, also a little sour with slight umami. The taste becomes stronger when the it gets warmer. More of a refreshing sake.

This sakemirai smells like pear and rice, and tastes like yellow peach, pear with a hint of flower. It is very smooth and sweet, easy to drink and good to drink alone or pair with dried fruits. It should be a popular choice for most sake drinkers.

A sake with a hint of melon smell. Heavy flavor of rice. Typical refreshing sake, good to pair with any cuisine. The taste is simple and lacks character.

This sake used 3 types of Koji (yellow, white and black) and 3 types of yeast. It is bubbly yet with a strong smell of apple, yogurt and mushroom. The taste is both dry and sweet. Good for matching with salad or appetizers. Very complex flavor, interesting but might not be suitable for sake beginners.

Typical aroma sake with apple, pear and flower aroma, very silky texture. Match perfectly with sashimi. Recommend to drink while chilled, and when it becomes room temperature, the fruity flavour becomes stronger with thicker texture. Suitable to both beginner and advanced sake lovers.

The sake used barrel and No.9 Yeast, with very rich barrel, soy sauce and yogurt aroma. When chilled, there is cheese, mineral and apple flavor with bubbly texture and quite sour. When it is of room temperature, there is soy sauce flavor with obvious umami and strong aftertaste. Complex and surprising sake, worth the value. Suitable to drink pre-meal and with meal with sashimi or strong flavored food.
