At second stop Kumano. Locally brewed. Fragrant nose with white flowers tropical fruit notes. Very enticing. Then they all dissolved into a clean but silky texture and smooth on the palate. Fine with French local cooking in Japan. Had two! — 6 months ago

Gikyo Junmai Ginjo Sake

Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting. This did not stand out. I believed this is polished down to 30%. I would give it a shot outside of this environment. It’s hard for these light ones to get a fair shot in a reused glass. — a month ago

Happened on Sui in Kyoto serving Omakase 5/18/24. Wonderful inventive 11 course meal with flexible choices for pairing. Choose the 3 Japanese wines (!) and 3 sakes. Middle one between slightly sweet to very dry. Also in the middle for complexity and finish. — 6 months ago

Haneya Kirabi Unpasteurized Tank Strength Junmaiginjo

9.1

This is Haneya Prism, Ginjo, not Kirabi.
Brewed April of 2019.
Flagrance is not as strong, but smells like fruity mix of pear and melon. Smooth and fresh, very light body as it goes into mouth. A hint of bitterness comes well after passing throat.
