Born Hoshi Junmai Daiginjo Sake

This has more kick and aroma. Did this second. Not sure if that was right or I should have reversed it but think the progression was right. — 9 days ago

Born Ginjo Aged in Ice Temperature Saké

Nice but right out of the bottle I would say the flavors were light and the viscosity a bit thin. As it warmed the flavors really came out and they filled the mouth. — 10 months ago

Born Gold Junmai Daiginjo Specially Limited Japanese Sake 2019

Exquisite!!! So many sakes that make it to the USA have the same rice pudding/banana profile, to say nothing of the really lower quality ones that taste like low proof diluted vodka, but this one is truly a cut above. I don’t often give ratings above 90 points, but this is so perfectly balanced with the nice, sweet flavors that I appreciate in a sake. “Balance” is the word that keeps coming to me as I drink this. As far as specific notes, on the nose, whipped cream, cashew, just a little bit of bubble gum and flowers, and on the palette, yes, it has the rice pudding note, but with honeydew melon, and most of the notes on the nose coming through. I paired this with an Italian pasta dish, and it worked perfectly, but I can also imagine this working well desserts like Victoria sponge cake or cream brûlée. — 4 years ago

Born Tokusen Junmai Daiginjo Saké

Sake tasting. Yamaha rice selection. Really nice. To me it’s a medium weight on the palate, creamy, with a little bit of alcohol on the finish. I’m a fan of Born in general. 32% polish. 16% ABV. Fukui, Japan. — 6 months ago

Bit more alcohol as it warms in the glass.
