Rounded, estery aroma with umami and honey. Slightly funky, with citrus, wood, rice flavor and a nice sour edge. Ok stuff.

Bottle. Rich, worty nose, malts and grains, plus some soft citrus. Interesting deep gold color with a nice head—looks about normal. Thin, somewhat watery body. Flavor of Wheaties, barley,and some Sprite. Big grainy, bready character. This is an inoffensive grain-flavored soda pop with a bit of hop grassiness and bitterness. Tastes little like beer.

Bottle. Clear, deep red color with lace. Aroma of cherry, butter, and sweet, light malt. Tastes like their kolsch with cherry added. A bit too much diacetyl. Decent cherry flavor, light, not too sweet, but not all that interesting either. Rice is included in the recipe. Not bad. Decent bitter finish. Rather bland but inoffensive.

180 ml cup sake, in a box, with a little piece of Blowfish fin in a ziplock with it. Following the directions, I put the fin into the cup and heated it in the microwave. Interesting aroma of smoky fish, sweet rice. Quite food-like. Smoky, salty flavor, with some rice, and a bit of fruity sweetness. Leaving the fish in there a couple hours and coming back to it proved too much--overwhelming. Had to thin it out with some Kinbishi. Strange and interesting, for sure. Goes well with, well, fish.

300 ml bottle form the brewery. Aroma of vanilla, melon, banana. Sweetish and rich. Fruity, sweet flavor of caramel, grapes, vanilla, banana. Too flowery and cloying. Ok but not good.

300 ml bottle from the brewery.
Thin orange-pink color. Strong sake aroma, rice, sake yeast, spices, with a bit of fruity ume in the background. Flavor is also a clear mix of sake and ume. Clean, not so sweet, with sour plum, caramel, rice. Clean and light, with the sake flavor distinctly remaining. A very nicely drinkable and light infusion. Not really surprising or moving, but well done.

From the 1.8l bottle at the brewery restaurant. Aged Daiginjo brewed in 1990. 20 years old!
Aged aroma with caramel, funk, barrel, and sherry. Oxidized but not overly so. Almost nutty flavor, with peaches, almonds, pear, caramel. Fruity, with sherry notes. Amazingly smooth and rounded. Wow! Maybe one of the best sakes I’ve ever had. Very much worth the ¥850. As far as I know, this is only sold at the brewery restaurant, and you can only buy 120 ml per customer!

From the 1.8 l bottle at the brewery restaurant.
Fruity, woody aroma with saw dust and a bit of spice. Peppery, spicy, citrus flavor with cherry. Flavor is light and subtle but long-lasting. Decent. Not as good as their Kizakura Nama ginjo.
