This bottle over delivers on price - great value! Steamed rice and grapefruit aromas lead to a complex nose which is fun. It’s silky smooth texture, heavy on the mineral side, but pairs well with some great Asian spices and fried foods. — 3 years ago

Certainly well named - the Japanese are very exact with this description - “Peaty and Salty” nails it. I don’t drink a lot of whisky but as the weather cools down it was a great little tipple - one of the best I’ve had in recent years. Iodine/seaweed notes through the spirit. Not shy at 55% ABV and expensive for this 500ml bottle at $300 AUD but superb quality. — 7 years ago

Inviting nose, sweet round single-malt flavors, interesting finish. Just a very pleasurable tipple. The only reason this is not a perfect whiskey is the very faintest note of varnish in the nose and finish. Reminded me a bit of Kavalan Sherry Cask in that respect. I had this in Japan with my lovely wife Dreama, at The Long Bar in Sapporo, Hokkaido. — 7 years ago

Hmmmm...dried prunes, touch of currant and ripe red berries with a sublime undercurrent of grassy earth and forest-y shit. Ate some Hokkaido uni with it. Would eat a whole goddamn tray with a bottle....wait sounds like my weekend plan! — 5 years ago

This was such a fun taste. Brought to me by a customer after discussing Chinese and Japanese wines. Drinks like the Kerner you’d find in Italy. Fresh floral, pineapple, pears, and white peppercorn on the finish — 8 years ago

鳳凰美田 from 小林酒造. Fragrance develops and exerts more floral as it warms to room temperature. Smooth taste and elegant body 40% special A yamada rice from Mita. Paired with stewed smelt and cured Hokkaido uni on spinach. ¥1800 @ayatomi — 8 years ago

Way more bourbon like than yoichi. Reconfirming my love of Yoichi. Happy to be able to get my hands on the single distillery bottlings in Atlanta — 9 years ago
