300 ml bottle from Yamamoto. Cloudy, light to medium carbonation. Nose is citrus, oranges, rice, some vanilla and yogurt, apples. Medium sweet, yeasty koji, creamy,, nice carbonation and body. Fruit and rice combination is nice. Not out there unique, but very solid.

720ml bottle from Yamamoto. Clear, shiny, slightly oily and mirror-like. Big, surprising nose of sawdust, tons of fruit, pineapple, mikan, melon, spicy and light perfume, plus just a bit of yamahai-style funkiness and some salty sweat. Sweet, flowery, fruity flavor, pepper, lemon, rice, koji, light vanilla. Light but full, smooth, slippery palate. A bit too sweet, but very flavorful and lovely. This bottle won’t see tomorrow.
