Kin Suzume青山綠水純米大吟醸

This version of Kin Suzume platinum uses organic method. When tasted in parallel, I would describe the sweetness as more smooth and round, like covering all areas if your palate. Taste is still the signature pineapple ginjo feel with melon. Slight rice sweetness. I think there is bit of nuttiness in the end. Clean and highly ginjo style sake also very well balanced and give you a lot of flavours. One of the top sakes I drank in 2025!

Signature Kin Suzume Pineapple ginjo aroma. Very fresh and strong which you cannot ignore. Fresh pineapple and melon sweetness. Very easy to drink and will never be tired to it. Also demonstrate slight rice sweetness and slight umami at the end. A very completed Junmai Daiginjo sake. Worth the hype.

Luckily to have the introduction of this sake from the owner of this shuzo. While it may be of less sweet taste compared to the sake from same label using other types of rice, but it can demonstrates the rice sweetness. It also comes with rich but pleasant sourness which adds layer to the sake. Long lasting after taste which is surprising and good!

Typical JDG that comes with fruity taste and bit of sourness. But I think it is a bit flat and I want to look for more complexity in this so it can have more flavours. A bit mineral in feel and after taste is average. A so-so JDG.

Banana smell, then more lie on the sourness and umami side. Slight soy sauce and yogurt taste - need to match with some heavy taste food - like those with sauce etc.

Quite a special one as you seldom see Honjozo namazake in the market. This version of Year of Snake sake comes with clear rice taste, clean and crispy style. Also coming with the melon banana namezake taste. An interesting style to try which demonstrate the rice feel!

Very fresh and a lot of bubbles. Champagne like feel and always good to use it as a welcome drink and start the meal. Yeasty with sweet fruity taste, easy to drink. Will not go wrong if properly kept and served.

Still quite fresh and you can feel the carbonic acid giving you a refreshing sense. Melon and pineapple fruity sweetness with also fresh yogurt and cream fresh sourness. Easy to drink and will not have much burden.

Quite a fresh one and lighter than what I have expected. Usually in Bodaimoto, i would think it comes with a richer texture but this is not that style, which i like. It still has the sourness and slight umami.

I would say it is an average sake, nothing wrong but nothing special as well. A bit if fruitiness and rice sweetness, but very plain with nothing for drinkers to remember. Perhaps it will perform better when pairing with food, but not for sole drinking. Too monotone from my view.

Thanks my friend for bringing this very fresh premium sake! A real delicious one, fruity aroma and clear fruity sweetness - i would say melon alike. It is not the very refreshing style that I have tried before - but comes with some complexity of honey / rice sweetness as well. Medium after taste which is very enjoyable.

Absolutely delicious sake, and very difficult to buy as well. Just with the chance I visited the brewery which takes 1 hour train from Iwakuni and try their delicious sake! Great quality, the signature pineapple freshness immediately pops up and it tastes fresh and juicy. Then it comes slightly rice sweetness and the after taste is long enough that doesnt go away. Great one.

I would say if it is just a sake at normal JDG price, it would be perfectly fine. Rich fruitiness, melon like, clean and slight rice sweetness, but with a little bit awkward bitterness. I dont think it blends very well which does not give me a great point to memorise. Perhaps the quality control of nabeshima is not so stable recently - i think it does not worth the high price.

First time drinking the famous newspaper sake! Obviously you can expect it be a rich sake - but its sourness is not an sharp one, but more reminder of yogurt, cheese and also showing some cooked rice presence. Strong umami, mushroom and nutty feel. Long aftertaste.

Quite fresh and fruity. Not much other taste anyway. Also some rice sweetness with good aroma. Also an above average one, just mot many memorization points.

Long time no drink a Kijoshu - surprisingly it is not very rich, which is easily drinkable. Quite rich sourness like yogurt and lactic acid - together with some rich sweetness. Again better to be paired with food :)
