For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Gekkeikan Namasake from Gekkeikan Sake Company (Japan)

7 months ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

From my sake backlog. 280 ml bottle. Body is clear like water with slightly oily consistence. Mild aroma of sake yeast, light rice water and hint of almond. Flavor is stronger, and quite sweet with perfumed/floral sake yeast, a bit fruity and warming alcohol. Medium body and average aftertaste. Not very complex, quite easy to drink, no off flavors. Might be a nice introduction to the world of sake.

Sake Yamahai Motoshibori from Nøgne Ø

7 months ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Clear straw-yellow body. Aroma is dominated by citric fruit but there are also a hint of raisins and some alcohol in the direction of noble German Eiswein. This is stronger in aroma compared with other sakes from Nøgne Ø. Flavor is fruity, especially citric, with a nice hint of acidity and warming alcohol. Soft and rich mouth feel. Long and pleasant aftertastes where a faint hint of fruity bitterness are detected after a while. A very nice and easy to drink Sake, almost a bit too easy drinkable, as I was getting used to some more challenging flavors in Sake by now, not meant to be a negative thing, just surprised

Sake House Yeast from Nøgne Ø

7 months ago

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Clear, pale straw yellow body with no head. Aroma is quite strong fruity, like something between citric and green apple, phenol, rice, yeast and smooth pleasant alcoholic. Flavor is quite strong fruity in the same direction as aroma, almost spicy yeast, rice, balanced sweet, mild acidic and warming alcohol. Very smooth and balanced between sweet and acidic with a fine warming alcoholic touch. The body feels almost a bit fat and meat’ish (umami?) Long and fruity aftertaste. Easy to like, easy to drink.

Sake Nigori from Nøgne Ø

7 months ago

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Milky white body with rice floaters. Mild aroma of rice, flowers and a hint of marzipan and herbs. Flavor is smooth rice, yeast fruitiness and a very nice kind of fruity acidity. Tastes smoother than it looks. Both smooth and a bit raw at the same time. I especially appreciated the acidity in the aftertaste.
