Lite sälta, jordig, låg sötma och hetta — 5 years ago

Nikka Whisky Distilling Company

Coffey Grain Whisky

Color of clear apple cider. Nose is strong with alcohol, spice, fermented grains, a bit sweet apple cider, crayon, and melon sweetness. Taste is led by apple cider sweetness, smooth and clean, not thick, a touch of salty minerals, melon, cantaloupe, peach fruit, and honey note. Aftertaste of flowering and honey note, warmth of alcohol, and some more saltiness, She is a beauty. — 6 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. — 9 years ago

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. — 2 years ago

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.

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. — 8 years ago
