NanbubijinShinpaku Junmai Daiginjo
Philip
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.

Dassai45 Junmai Daiginjo
Philip
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.
日本盛no. 14 Junmai
Philip
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.
TaiheizanGreat Peaceful Mountain Kimoto Junmai
Philip
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.

Philip
Light and mellow Honjozo. A little sweet in the middle. Doesn’t expand too much. Simple but good.

Opens with some tartness and expands with hints of melon, banana and nut. On the lighter and drier side.

Philip
Tarusake Futsushu with hints of cedar, black pepper and lemon. Very light up front with a flavor that builds all the way to the finish.
TamanohikariClassic Junmai Ginjo
Philip
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.
ShochikubaiKimoto Junmai
Philip
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.
ManozuruDemon Slayer Tokubetsu Honjozo
Philip
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.
YauemonTsukiakari Nigori
Philip
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.
Philip
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.
Philip
Floral fragrance with hints of fruit. Opens intensely with zesty citrus and kiwi flavors that quickly envelope the tongue. Light and clear before relaxing in the mid palate with a touch of sweetness. Brightens right before the finish which seems to be somewhat mineral to me with lighter floral and rice notes.

My Notes: Pleasant and strong floral aroma with stone fruit. Very light clear and crisp taste like an apple at the very beginning before expanding rapidly with a big punch of fruity and floral flavor. Lingering floral notes at the finish. Light and dry but almost like it is rich in the middle. This was a fun one to try.
Philip
Futsu-shu cup sake that is light and smooth in the beginning before transitioning to somewhat tart in the finish. Tasting notes of pineapple and mint make this one refreshing.
Philip
Very smooth and very sweet. Notes of cream and powdered sugar.
KontekiTears of Dawn Daiginjo
Philip
On the lighter side with a hint of sweetness. This has the best finish of any sake I’ve had in a while.
Philip
A classic Junmai. Very vibrant at the beginning before opening up to what seemed like stone fruit flavors in the middle. Very light alcohol finish. A great sake to finish the year. Happy New Year everyone!
