Bottle Pour at Tomiya. Clear and viscous. Spicy, rich rice nose. SMooth and soft, full body. Not su much of the ginjo-ka fruitiness, but a ripe, full junmai rice. Nice.

180ml bottle. Ricy, creamy nose, some vanilla and booze. Oily and thick looking. Sweet, and a bit hot, more fruity with vanilla and rice, some grape and pear. Decent fruits but a bit hot. Ok.

Glass from a 1.8 liter bottle. Sweet and fruity, nose of citrus, and stone fruit, with good ginjo-ka. Light, airy. Easy drinking. Not all that complex, but nice enough.
