720 ml bottle from Yamamoto. Cap blew off to the ceiling. Estery, ricey nose, stone fruits, touch of caramel. Sweet, fruity, rice pudding, light vanilla and caramel. Full-flavored and full bodied. Lightly carbonated which I did not like at first, but it helps to keep the body from getting too heavy. Very tasty stuff. These guys rock. And this was the cheapest bottle they had today from them. Solid.

Taster at Jam. Estery, fruity nose, with tonic water and sulphur. Clear, with several small bubbles that are sticking to the glass. Not active carbonation. Orange and estery with minerals. A bit like a sake tonic. Light carbonation. Weird. Don’t really dig it all that much.
