7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Huge roasted rice aroma-crazy! Smells like a yaki onigiri--a grilled rice ball. Need chopsticks for this? Roasty rice flavor like the burnt okoge when roasted in an iron kettle. Nice sour, funky edge as well. Very original.

Nose of caramel, rice, umami, full aroma, a bit funky but not much ginjoka. Quite sour in the mouth, sweet as well, fruity, with pineapple, tropical fruits, citrus. Original as hell and great.

Tamagawa Time Machine 1712 from Kinoshita Shuzo

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
500 ml bottle. Brownish yellow color, rather thick looking. Aroma of caramel, raisins, funk, and rice. Sweet, fruity flavor with a strong sour edge, muscat grapes, raisins, rice, and sweet white wine. Interesting and tasty, though not perfect--a bit too funky and dirty tasting.
