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. — 7 months ago

Yeast variety - Gunma Kaze. Not much aroma on this. Not sure if that’s typical to the yeast, the age of the bottle / transport, or me.

100%(?) Yamaha nishiki fermented with M310 yeast. My bottle doesn't make any claim of being a namazake.
Nose floral, nectar, sweet face powder/cosmetics, watermelon, raspberry.
Palate a touch fizzy but fresh and inviting. Balanced. — 3 years ago

Great way to start the year. Pure and energetic! Not as "raw" as the last time I had this, but still as effervescent. Fruit swept aromas followed by a sweet front palate and a kick of refreshing citrussy acidity to finish. So delicious! — 3 years ago
