Bottle sample at Narita Airport duty free, pours a cloudy white. Nose is boozy, with lychee, booze, and earthy muddled notes. Flavour has a sort of liquorice and star anise character, with soft lychee and boozy white wine. Lots of liquorice and booze on the finish, almost like a weak absinthe. Odd.

720 ml bottle from Furusato Nozei. Picked it up after seeing the ratings of my German friends. Big, spicy, fruity nose. Lots of ginjo-ka, western pears, melon, cedar. Mellow, viscous, clear. Slightly sweet flavor of ripe pears, rice, a touch of vanilla, melon, apple. Very rich and spicy, not the typical ethereal fruitiness of a refined daigin, but more solid. Silky, lovely body. Peppery, prickly finish with some alcohol heat. Fantastic stuff.
