Many thanks to weihenweizen for bringing this 75cl bottle to Europe. Smooth dry beginning. Not as complex or deep as the diamon-version. A bit harsh in the end, hints of alcohol and very fragile dry. Smooth mild, fruity with a dry and somehow herbal bitter strange ending. Nice drinkable neutral in the aftertaste with hints of alcohol in the back.

Many thanks to Weihenweizen for bringing this bottle to Europe. Fantastic floral pear Sake nose. Very fruity but dry. The Sake is very light and subtle in Flavour. Nothing deep, the nice pear juice is fruity fragile and fits in fantastic - but couldn’t help the light aroma with not much aftertaste. Fruity dry and highly sessionable, but no depth or long aftertaste at all.

Bought both bottles available at Whole Foods. First off this is not a top 50 nigori god we need more sake raters. Thick greenish white pour. Nose is melon and rice water. Tastes of thick rice, melon, grass, some citrus pulp, touch of fluoride. Palate is chunky.

Bottle at home bought at Whole Foods. I’m afraid this move to Florida will have dire consequences to my sake drinking habits but time will tell. Decent looking. Nose is pollen, honey dew, some florals. Tastes of pineapple, honey dew, floral, bubblegum, some sugary simple syrup, light pepper. Weak palate. No idea this was US upon purchase.

300mL bottle, pours a clear blonde. Aroma brings out notes of pears, white vinegar, and light boozy rice. Flavour brings out notes of glue, lots of phenols and artificial pears. Phenolic, fruity finish. Not terrible, but really cheap tasting and lacking any depth.
