Karatamba Honjozo

For the price it’s surprisingly working well with food. It’s a volume sake but I’m not disappointed with it. Hitting above its weight class. — 3 years ago

Shirakabe Gura-Sho Chiku Bai

Mio Japan Sparkling Sake

Clear to very pale yellow with medium-low viscosity. Very delicate but surprisingly round nose with notes of rice, cut flowers and plumb. Sweet with dense bubbles. Hints of rice and tobacco and melon and a soft, short finish. Beautiful summer drink. — 8 years ago

Ginga Shizuku Divine Droplets Junmai Daiginjo Sake 2015

Candylike aromas on the nose of pear and red apple, bubblegum, cherry blossom. Sweet cherry blossom and honey on the palate with a big dose of anise, red and black licorice. Pure and crystalline but just a bit oversweet and medicinal to me. — 9 years ago

Wakatake Onikoroshi (Demon Slayer) Junmai Ginjo Sake

Mellow and smooth we take it. I feel the need for food with this beverage and fortunately some sauerkraut sandwiches and hand rolls did ok for simple finger foods...but I feel like some more meaty food is needed here to flesh out the better nuances available in this drink, and some rice, of course. Preparedness is key, be forewarned. Greatness abounds and I was not prepared to handle this beautiful woman the way she wanted. — 10 years ago

Kitaya

Kansansui (Cold Mountain Water) Junmai Dai-Ginjo Sake

Just, just... just wonderful.

Initially, I get quince and a slight licorice that isn’t overpowering. Peach, of course.

The intangible here is just the well rounded character of the whole thing. It’s hard to nail down, but it’s got this savory, sweet, umami, bitter, acid quality to it that just brings a sip to the very edge of paradise as a flavor, a taste, an experience.

I’m glad I went for the gold here. I love drinking the canned sake and the 300 mL bottles when I’m going solo, so I upped the ante a bit and went for the mid-tier higher selection and it paid off.

Not really. A little fruit, a little sherry, a little caramel. I should've tried the 12 year old to compare at 1/4 the price...

Whoa...sounds like it's worth the price. A side by side between the 12 and 18 is a fun proposition.
