甲子 Kinoene “Umakara” Junmai, 磨き八割 (80%)
Dry, rice-driven, savory umami. The other one from the lounge which was decent. Not overly sweet, decent weight.

Had to grow on me, but ended enjoying it. Bit of a spicy finish if that makes sense. Good balance — 6 years 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. — 2 years ago
