Slightly sparkling sake... Very sweet and fruity to the nose, but not nearly as sweet tasting. Very nicely balanced with a fruity clean taste. — 2 years ago

ボジョレーヌーボーのような濃い紫色です。イチゴやイチゴジャムにブルーベリーとチョコレートの香りと山葡萄の独特な香りがします。甘い感じの口当たりからまろやかなタンニンと山葡萄独特な酸味がなんともバランス良く出来ていてとても飲み易いです。スイスイ飲めておいしいワインです。

This is beautiful Nihon-shu.
Super ripe green melon, persimmon, ripe apricot and nougat.
With a semi-viscous quality, creamy texture and mouthfeel. There is acidity here but it’s hiding behind the richness.
We had seared Japanese beef from Iwate in northern Japan.
It tasted like meat flavoured butter.

This is Nanbu Bijin Black Label. They say it has “aroma of fresh and juicy orange, melon, pear, and zesty pineapple. The fruitiness follows through to the palate with the refreshing flavor of apples and the umami-rich sweetness of rice come together in a longlasting, beautiful, and clean finish. An elegant sake for special celebrations as well as everyday meals. Served in the first-class cabin of Japan Airlines.” I don’t get the aromas right now but will let the chill come off and see. There is no bottling date so I can’t tell if that’s impactful. It does have what I think is classic Yamada rice flavors although I better try some alternatives just to make sure :). Some say semi-dry, others say semi-sweet. I would go with semi-sweet. Need to look up the SMV but I’m going with -3 — 5 months ago
