Rice: Miyamanishiki, Yuki Kessho milled to 50%
Yeast: Association #10
This Ginjo is the sister to Dewasansan and is also milled to Daiginjo levels. The nose is a beautiful blend of flower blossoms, peach, radish, and spring water. It has dry start that is accompanied by a soft and creamy middle mouth filled with dried fruit overtones and a subtle melon finish. The viscosity thickens as the fluid warms in the mouth, and there is an overall floral perception from start to ending. It is a very nice example of a sake that shimmers in one’s mouth as the roundness is quite prominent and appealing.

300ml bottle, bottled 2024.2. Pours so clear and almost colourless it's like water. Aroma of pear and hints of berry fruits. Taste of pear, melon, rice, peach. Warming alcohol. Nice one.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear with very slight yellow tinge, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of rice, fruits, peach, cherry hints. Taste is rice, melon, fruity, spicy, with some
warming booze. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying spicy boozy finish. Nicely drinkable.

13/10/2024. Bottle bought at Taipei Airport. Pours clear with the slightest yellow tint and no head. Aroma is spring blossom, glacé cherries, strawberry laces, fragrant rice, melon, touch of caramel, slight toasted notes. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, lightly creamy, no carbonation. Gentle boozy warmth to finish, with some lasting fruity sweetness. Enjoyed this one.
