26/10/2024. Bottle bought at Sumiyoshi Liquor Hakata Deitosu. Region #475. Japanese Prefecture 46/47. Super fruity aroma, pineapple cubes, melon, stone fruits, midget gems, hubbabubba bubblegum, touch of vanilla. Quite sweet with mild bitterness. Medium body, smooth, no carbonation. Light alcohol warmth to finish. Sweet fruity sake we really liked, and the first one Mrs B approved of.
