With a clean smell of sweet grass, and ocean mist.
Clean, a good Sake will always have this as a descriptor. Weighty mouthfeel, hints of tropical fleshy fruits- subtlety hints of mango, banana, guanoabana. A touch of fresh cacao pod flesh. And of course the obvious flavors of rice polished to a bran free perfection. A nice, uncloying sweetness allows for ‘this wine to show through the alcohol. — 7 years ago

This is really addicting and perfect amount of tartness. Strong green apples. Would be awesome with stewed lamb or pork — 3 years ago

This is a fun little guy who's most of what a junmai should be. Could be a bit drier, but otherwise a fine sipper — 9 years ago

This is go to Junmai, even if not in a standard size for sake nor glass. It has a silky texture and is hearty enough to stand up to my eclectic cooking. Tonight was with a pasta primavera with butter/miso/goat cheese. — 12 years ago
