I’ve been drinking sake in the USA casually for a few years and I’ve come to really enjoy it as one of my favorite drinks. Now I’m trying to experience, appreciate and learn more about sake.

Finally made it to Japan! We are visiting Kyoto first and wanted to make sure we toured at Gekkeikan Ōkura Sake Museum. The tour was brief but very pleasant with a great video on sake production. We tried almost every sake available and they were all very good! We had to get a bottle of the “retro” style Ginjo. I heard the older style was different and I was very excited to try it. It is sweet in a good way that isn’t overpowering and I wanted to capture the experience by purchasing a bottle.

Strong Kimoto fragrance. It opens clear and simple like water and then a richness rushes out with mineral and spice in the finish. Very light and dry. Rice Polishing Ratio: 60% SMV: +3 Acidity: 1.4

Picked this up while on a trip in San Clemente California. It was dated 01.11 so I thought it might not even be good anymore. Luckily this one seems to have aged very well. It is sweet but not overbearingly sweet. Hints of powdered sugar. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Served chilled on a nice spring day. Rice Polishing Ratio: 55% Sake Meter Value: 2 Acidity: 1.4 It opens light and is delicate through the middle. The flavor is the strongest at the end where tangy hints of orange and raisin come out and linger in the aftertaste.

This sake is supposed to have combined rice with different rice polishing ratios. The smell is slightly nutty. This sake is dry and also manages to seem both light and rich at the same time. The flavor is mellow and somewhat subdued with hints of melon and cashew. The bottle isn’t very traditional but is nicely designed. Rice Polishing Ratio: 50-70% Sake Meter Value: 2 Acidity: 1.7

Rice Polishing Ratio: 55% Sake Meter Value: 2 Acidity: 1.3 A very light and dry taste up front that steadily increases in richness over time. Drink it too quickly and you’ll miss most of the complex richness that can leave your tongue tingling.

A sweet rice fragrance and hints of honeysuckle. The flavor has a balanced and light sweetness that gains a floral and fruity tone as it expands into the mid palate and finish. Notes of lychee and melon.

Sweet floral Daiginjo scent. This one opens with a strong but pleasant sweetness. It expands into a floral and apple flavor. It finishes with a touch of tartness. This one seems light and better balanced than most.

no. 14 Junmai has a very standard fragrance. The taste opens very light and clear like cool water. Tasting notes in the mid palate are minimal but include salt and mineral and a slight richness. This one I was only okay with at first but after spending more time with it I’m beginning to enjoy it more and imagine it as the closest sake I’ve had to something reminiscent of the sea.

I felt the scent had hints of cherry, rice, banana and pear. Some fruity hints in the flavor at the opening that expands to a very pleasantly rich Kimoto taste.

Opens clear and light and remains that way before the flavor expands at the end of the mid palate. Very sweet and flavorful towards the finish. Notes of powdered sugar, cream, and banana.

Fragrance of crisp apple with hints of rice. It opens very lightly and clear with balance. Light fruitiness in the mid palate before giving way to a growing richness and umami in the finish. The contrast between the beginning and end with this one is a fun experience.

Found this at Jinya Ramen in KC and hadn’t ever heard of it before so I had to try it. This might be the lightest and clearest sake I’ve ever drank. It is +15 Nihonshu-do so very dry. This is incredibly smooth and easy to drink. Hints of melon but you have to look for them. Very nice if you’re looking for something light and easy to drink.

Sweet fragrance. Cloudy with a pale moonlight hue. Smooth and creamy texture. Flavor of powdered sugar that increases in sweetness and adds a richness over time. Hint of rice or rice pudding.

Earthy and rich nose. Clear with a slightly amber hue. The bottle said it was a rich style and it didn’t disappoint. Starts very smooth and light. Umami richness builds in your mouth and peaks right before the finish. I feel like it had a hint of mushroom. I really liked this one.
