Taster at Kamosuya. Lots of koji in the nose, a bit funky rice, overly ripe pears, some apples. Sweet and a bit boozy, creamy rice, light ripe fruits. Ok.

Taster, from the unlabeled bottle, at Plus sake. Bottled that very morning, I was told. Round, fruity nose, melon, mango, koji. Amazingly fruity and fresh. Sweet, smooth, flavor, with alcohol, peaches, light caramel, and bit strong, as it is a genshu, but the fresh, fruity flavor is amazing.
