Have to say this is one of the best sake I have recently drank. Elegant melon pear and muscat smell on nose, smooth texture without any angles. Long lasting fruity sweetness together with raw rice sweetness. Slight umami at the end which is really enjoyable. Beautiful.

Very nicely done. Easy to drink with clean taste, prominent fruity melon and pear like flavor on nose. Smooth body and silky texture, compiling with slight rice sweetness. Not much umami spot, clean and crispy finishing. Love it!

I need to say I am very disappointed with this round of Nabeshima. Body is more complicated than expected, the alocoholic feel is unpleasant and too significant - which I would expect this version to be much more round and smooth. The daiginjo from other brands in the same tasting event.

Third time i drink a sequoia - this time trying the standard ginjo. Above average delivery, gives what you expect - a stronger body but with fruity ginjo feel, also lactic acid stuffs. Not bad.

This sake made use of a type of yeast that has been to space and stored under the sea. What does it mean? Suppose it should be a stronger yeast, then how will it impact the sake itself? Frankly I dont think much difference - though i feel this sake has more taste of mineral and sort of lactic acid with umami - but is it related to the yeast used? Who knows!

Standard Junmai Ginjo - light and clean texture, easy to drink with melon fruitiness on nose and palate. Not much burden to drink this sake!

A small honjozo for self enjoyment at night. It is what you expected from a Namazake - with significant melon and banana smell and taste. The Honjozo gives you a fresh feel and light body, but still the alcohol feel is a bit too stand out for me.

Freshly bottled Junmai Ginjo using Omachi grown locally nearby. Really appreciate the concept of the Shuzo Owner - trying to grow sake rice nearby is a totally different skill set and require a lot of knowledge and attention. Going back to the sake itself, it gives you feel of nuttiness while not losing its Ginjo identity. Sense of chocolate roasted nuts and umami towards the end - I think there is still quite some aging potential.

2200 JPY for a sip of the premium Dassai Beyond at the Dassai factory store. Clean and crispy with the Dassai signature taste of melon sweetness on nose and palate. Also sugar cane in the middle. Very clean finishing - you can experience silk like smoothness. Really fine and it can be easily distinguished from the standard Dassai 23.

This Dassai 39 JDG made use of Hiroshima Yamadanishiki. People is curious whether you can taste any difference - actually yes as the texture is a bit richer and have a stronger sense of lactic acid and umami in the end. For sure the melon ginjo taste and smell still present.

Something rarely seen, which I made a long trip (1h train ride from Iwakuni) to try this. Frankly it is very cheap but the quality is good - surprisingly it comes with Ginjo melon like smell and taste, which you won’t expect to find in non Ginjo / Daiginjo. It also gives you a mix of smooth milk like lactic acid and slight umami. Easy to finish a bottle and match with food. Good quality.

The price is cheap but does not mean it is a bad sake. Indeed it provides the necessary lactic acid feel with slight umami - light in texture and easy to match with food. Nice pairing with Iwakuni sushi!

Bought from my recent trip to Sapporo. Quite a balanced one, with fruity melon and banana smell coming out instantly. Quite clean and smooth, very balanced taste with fruitiness and rice sweetness. Medium after taste. Above average sake.

Bought in my June visit to Sado Island - very fresh, nice and easy to drink. Standard clean and crispy sake, come with mild melon and banana sweetness. Also light rice sweetness. Standard representation for a kire Niigata sake. Nicely done and recommend!

The aim of this is to try out the new Dassai Blue Type 35 which makes use of US grown Yamada Nishiki. Surprisingly the US Grown Yamada Nishiki is quite significantly sweeter with more melon taste, also sense of honey. Clean and easy to drink but yet very balanced. Interesting comparison.

Sadly I don’t think the sake is under best condition when I drink - as it has lost the fruity and elegant part of it. Instead it comes with roasted nuts and slight umami feel - also a bit of bamboo and minty feel. Signs of oxidization.

Sake not easy to be found in Japan or Hong Kong. Thanks for a friend bringing it all the way back from New York. To my surprise it is quite a nicely done Junmai Ginjo which gives you the fruity sweetness on palate & smell. Perhaps hard water from US gives you the cream and yogurt lactic acid feel. It is not an elegant type but it wont be too full body which can still be paired with food.

For recording purposes - remember it is quite a full body Daiginjo. Not very fruity smell and sweetness driven.

I would say it still has some ageing potential - or it need to be rested enough before drinking. When it is freshly poured into glass, the taste is very reserved with only slight umami and minerals felt. After airing for over an hour, it finally shows the strength of rice, both raw and cooked rice. Also tastes like roasted nuts and chestnuts are spot. Much more enjoyable in the end!
