This is one of my favorites. Reminds me of the Japanese melon flavor. Sweet and dry, but not overly sweet.
Excellent and easily drinkable by itself or with sashimi.
I really liked this sake. It started with the subtle fragrance of either apple or pear or maybe a bit of both. Enjoyed chilled, it was light, crisp, and had a taste, that while difficult to describe, I found reminiscent of a Granny Smith apple, sweet with a little bit of a tart bite. Simply delicious! As this is a lower priced junmai diaginjo, it is a fantastic entry point to explore this category or a way to enjoy it more frequently. This one is worth trying.
Excellent, affordable and approachable.
Wow! Smooth and refreshing, so glad I tried this. Well be going to be ordering more!
A very good "don't break the bank" daiginjo.
Reasonably priced. One of my favorites.
Overall, it was a solid and easy to drink sake.
This is my favorite dry sake. There are other good dry sake to try as well but I always keep coming back to this one. When I want an acidic, less fruity, less floral sake that cuts through fattier or creamier foods, this is what I enjoy most.
