Weirdly I have not drunk a lot of abe in my life - so this is the first time I log this. It gives me a taste of tropical fruits on smell and palate, a little bit sourer than what I expect but perhaps it is a replication of wine domaine style. I also like the slight rice sweetness and umami coming with this, but I guess it is more designed to lair with different food.

Not the first time I drink the Sparkling Dassai - but the first time I mark a record here. Very fresh one as it is manufactured in Nov 2024 - standard Dassai sweetness with melon, sugar, pineapple feel, also some sort of rice sweetness. Fresh drink with bubble feel to make it quite fresh. Always good to be served as a starting drink!

Sake specially made for WEEKS 2024 in Osaka - lucky to have a chance to try this in Hong Kong! Very delicate style and a bit dry - still shows a lot of ginjo smell and taste. Clear and transparent, clean and I think is a good match with steam seafood. Also I think it is not that hard like other kaze no mori, much softer in feel :)

A free gift from my usual sake shop - as it has passed the freshest period already. It is manufactured in Jan 2023, so nearly two years has passed. Surprisingly it is still quite fresh I think - with slight bubbles and carbonic acid feel. Pineapple and Melon smell and taste still presents though it cannot be avoided that the bitterness and minty feel of alcohol is a bit too prominent, due to the age of this sake.

Being served hot - with meaty duck rice and shrimp rice. This is a very good paring, upon heating the sake becomes more round and the rice sweetness comes out to match with the rice dish itself. The lactic acid is creamy and match well with the fats in duck. The umami also made the shrimps taste better! Fantastic!

It is being served to pair with sashimi and shell fish dishes. I would think the sake itself has been too prominent in taste and have made the food less attractive. It is a sake that comes with more on the lactic acid side, with fresh cheese and yogurt taste. Slight bit of umami, alocohol feel not blended inside enough. Dont think it is a good pairing.

First time drinking this brand - but sadly it has been faulty. Let me try again next time and write a fairer review!

As you would expect, this brand would give you a much richer texture and also complexity in smell and taste. It actually offer a fresh cheese smell, together with some nuttiness of roasted nuts and chestnuts. Clear umami which is staying for long enough. Some coffee / toffee feel as well.

Alcoholic feel is a bit prominent. While it is round and full in texture, it comes with fruity taste and some sourness as well. Overall the balance is fine and good to drink - just not a very elegant and pure ones as people may expect.

Comparing with 千本錦, it obviously is richer in flavour and have a heavier texture. It comes with slight sourness and rice sweetness - stronger umami as well.

Standard Jikon fine and elegant feel. But when i drink it after juyondai - its alcoholic taste is definitely more standing out. Prominent fruity smell and taste, good one!

Thanks to my friend and got a rare chance to taste a full 1.8L Juyondai. As expected it comes with fine and elegant pineapple and melon smell, also with freshness, very easy to drink. If you do not like the mich alcoholic feel of some more traditional sake, that will definitely be your choice. Whether it worths the hype or price is another issue - but I do think ig is a good sake that demonstrates the ginjo style together with some rice character.

Very fruity pineapple and melon on nose. It really smells like pineapple juice! On palate it gives a very fresh pineapple taste, i think there is even some jackfruit feel! Fine and smooth, very fresh and elegant carbonic feel with slight bubbles. Have a sense of chestnut and nuts after taste. A very good sake that i would recommend to try if you got the chance!

Bit heavier than what I expect - full of lactic acid (yogurt and cheese) feel. I dont feel it very ginjo taste which the fruity smell is a bit pale. Clean umami but I guess it is better to be paired with food. Else it is a bit too rich from my view.

Perhaps I am a bit unfair to this sake as it has been consumed after drinking some sweeter sake. This makes it taste very plain - water like smoothness with very pale ginjo taste. Most prominent is the yogurt and cream lactic acid feel that I believe coming from the Kimoto method of senkin. Perhaps I need to find another chance to taste it properly.

A standard Daiginjo which comes with no surprise. Not a fine fruity type but comes more with yogurt and fresh cheese and somehow a bit of rice feel. Would say the alcoholic feel is a bit over which is not very balanced. Would not rate it very high.

JDG which has significant lactic acid and umami feel. Smooth but rich, i tried using it to pair lamb with sauce, not a bad choice actually. If use a clean and light type, the taste of sake must be covered wrongly.

A friend brought this back from Hiroshima. Aged for two years in shuzo under low temperature environment. It has successfully retained the fruity ginjo smell while the ageing has definiely smoothen the texture a bit, and giving the sake more ingridient smell and taste. Slight umami with lactic acid feel - smooth and easy to match.
