Bottle from Matsugasaki. Brilliantly clear and shiny. Big fruit nose, strawberry, citrus, pear, light apricot, ginjo-ka spicing, koji, rice. Flavor is more strawberry, lemon and orange, black pepper, spicy ginger, stewed pears. Massively fruity and super elegant. Definitely lives up to its reputation.

720ml bottle from Ueno Gourmet. Fantastic fresh floral strawberry nose. The fresh and fragile Sake smells very clear and round with lots of fresh floral strawberry there.
The beginning is extremely fresh and fruity. Lots of fresh floral strawberries - like the nose. The Sake is clear and round, hints of warming alcohol but lots of fresh floral fragile aroma lying on top. Fascinating round and fruity - like real strawberries. The flavour of the yeast is that immense - it is fascinating. The aftertaste is clear and round. Nice subtle fresh and slightly sweetish fragile strawberry aroma. Absolutely fascinating aroma profile. Complex, deep, not too sweetish or intense. The alcohol-level has only subtle hints of warming, together with the fresh and refreshing strawberry aroma on top of the round and clear smooth Sake body.
Never had such a great and fascinating stuff before! More than great!
