- sakedetroitProper Sake Co. (USA) The Diplomat ABV: 16-18% I really wanted to like this one, after hearing so much about Proper Sake Co., and visiting a few liquor stores around Nashville, Tennessee to find their product. However, it came off as a bit sour, with notes of cardboard and earthiness. Perhaps due to improper storage before I purchased it...?

- sakedetroitVery similar to Momokawa's blue bottle non-organic JG sake (which is one of my favorites). Didn't try them both side-by-side, but no discernable differences between the two. Notes of Asian pear and green apple, very crisp and light bodied. ABV: 14.5% Brewed By: Momokawa USA, Oregon

- sakedetroitA very light, floral nose with a taste to match. Only a bit of earthiness at the end of the palate. Not sure of the polishing ratio of this, but if I had to guess it would be on the higher end, as it tastes very similar to a JG -- notes of pear and green apple all over. Size: 720 ml ABV: 17% Color: Straw Importer: Kuramoto US

- sakedetroitThis namagenshuu from Rihaku (Shimane prefecture) is a thick-bodied, moderately sweet high-umami sake that packs a lunch at 17% ABV. Notes of mango, peach, and green apple. You don't feel the alcohol so much on your palate, but you'll feel it in your body after a few sips! Drank it slightly chilled, and the aroma and flavor opened up as it warmed to room temperature. Sake meter: +3 Acidity: 1.7 ABV: 17%

- sakedetroit180 ml. 17% ABV. +1.0-2.0 SMV. Acidity 1.7. Blend of yamadanishiki and aiyama rice. Very fragrant, with earthy notes of mushrooms and honey. The high ABV doesn't really hit, as it is covered by the thick mouthful.

- sakedetroit300 ml. 15.6% ABV. Imported by Vine Connections. Drank slightly chilled. Notes of earthyness, and mushrooms, with a taste to match. Slight note of dark chocolate as well. A bit of syrupy mouth feel.

- sakedetroit300 ml. 16.4% ABV. Imported by K.I.A.I., sakestory.com. Drank this one slightly chilled. Color is straw yellow, and nose reminds me of an earthy, junmai sake. Taste is more along the lines of a fruity JG, with notes of melon and green apple--almost like a slightly heavier, more complex JDG. Slight alcohol tingle at the end from the high ABV. Very drinkable (went well with the Thai curry salmon I had for dinner).

- sakedetroit30p ml. 16% ABV. Bottled January 2020, drank November 2020. Imported by Vine Connections. Crisp nose of green apple and melon. Flavor profile is heavy and syrup-y, with a slight taste of alcohol. Definitely a bit boozy. Tastes like a cross between a JDG and a light JG, but stronger and thicker. Definitely a slow sipper.

- sakedetroit300 ml. 15.5% ABV. Bottles May 2019. Aged 3 years at the brewery, and another 1.5 years in bottle. Tasted chilled, then slightly chilled. Imported by Vine Connections. Very mushroomy, earthy smell and taste. Color is very yellow, most likely due to the aging process. Taste is full of umami -- no green apple and pear notes here! Best for those that like a lot of character in their sake. Had it with sushi, but would recommend something lighter in profile instead -- leave this to sip on its own.

- sakedetroit300 ml. 15.7% ABV. Also known as 宝船. A middle-road JG, with earthy, spicy flavors, but without the heaviness of other sake with similar tasting notes. Imported by K.I.A.I., sakestory.com.

- sakedetroit300 ml. 16.5% ABV. Imported to the USA by Vine Connections. Enjoyed chilled. Musty, mushroomy notes on the nose, that follow through on the palate. Some alcohol on the back-end, but not much burn. Tastes more like a junmai than a JG.

- sakedetroit200 ml screw-top aluminum container. Pretty average all around, a bit boozy -- as I'd expect of an old (brewed one year before) Honjozo sake in a can.
