Haven’t been tipping toes in sake enough these past few years. Like to remedy that. Very clear. Nose is melon and rice. Tastes of pear, honey dew, rice water, and apple. Smooth palate. Very easy drinking.

Paired it with a Korean corn dog. Ok. But I’m not a sake expert obviously.

Bottle with family at a ramen place near NYU. Served overflowing in a short glass placed inside of a square wooden sake measuring cup.


Milky, porridge, floral, pleasant cedar nose.
Slightly astringent, cherry, almond, lemon sorbet, slight spice, vodka.


Kinda okay.

23/10/2024. Cheap 200ml sake cup bought at 7-Eleven, Otemachi, Tokyo. Think I’ve entered it against the right one here. Pours clear colourless with no head. Aroma is sweet, sugar syrup, melon, hint of chocolate, has a little boozy harshness. Medium sweetness, quite harsh bitterness. Moderate body, no carbonation. Has a drying bitter finish. Not this trips sake highlight.
