Glorious Mt.FujiJoto Junmai
Philip
Lightly sweet at the beginning. But it has a rich finish that switches to something more umami. The finish also has a bit of spice that leaves the tongue tingling.

Tozai is one of the most commonly available sake brands in the USA. However, their futsu-shu (named Typhoon) is significantly harder to come by. I wanted to try it again and was really pleased that I did. It is a little bit fuller bodied and leans more towards umami than sweet. I thought it was really good for a futsu-shu. It was good both chilled and at room temperature. Hints of nuts and some banana. I recommend giving it a try and seeing what you think if you ever come across it.

Creamy but a smoother consistency than some Nigori. Sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Reminiscent of powdered sugar.

Melon and floral tasting notes with a mostly dry but slightly sweet taste. It’s really nice and as good as I remember.
HakutsuruJunmai Draft Sake (Namachozo)
Philip
This is a sake that’s one of the more common brands found in liquor stores and restaurants in the USA. I drank it chilled and it was fairly light and dry which I liked but it didn’t have the best finish taste. Simple but a good enough drink to enjoy after a long day. A problem with some sake made for the USA is they don’t give the date it was bottled so I’m not sure how fresh it was.
Takara MasamuneHana Flavored Sake Lychee
Philip
We don’t always have a lot of sake options in USA liquor stores so sometimes I buy flavored sake to add variety to my options at home. This one was fairly sweet and had good Lychee flavor. Easy to drink. Not sophisticated but not bad.
