Started here and it was very nice. No alcohol on the palate, very easy drinking and while not sweet, it was not dry either. If we were not doing a pairing, this is where I would have gone due to the price/quality. 2024-07-09 youngest of all — 16 days ago

This was sharper on the palate, more alcohol and I think it’s silly when they include gold flakes in the drink. It’s supposed to be somehow restorative; I don’t even think that’s based in pseudo-science; it’s just a fad/marketing thing. In any case, it imparts no flavor which this same had a lot of, but it didn’t match the others which were higher quality imho. — 16 days ago

I’ve had the one with alcohol and it’s better for a lot of reasons. About 14% better ;) Seriously though, is this really sake if there is no alcohol? Not sure I should call it that. In any case this was served cold and had a powder/grit to it that I thought distracted. When I had the alcohol version I don’t remember that. Interesting but not a repeat. — 16 days ago

Assemblage 4. Wakes up with air and once the chill is off. Little muted before that but then has a super clean taste and long finish. — 8 days ago

This was probably my favorite if you like the flavors to fill the mouth and linger. Bit of alcohol on the palate which makes it a bit drier than the others. Finish lasts for a while and really goes well with the tuna. 2022-03 so a bit dated — 16 days ago

I describe sakes of this type “like water”. It has a pleasant mouth feel, a slight sweetness to it, a finish that is there and then disappears in an instant. It’s there if you think about it but this has a weightless to it and clean, purity about it that makes you appreciate it more than one that is bold and brash. Great with the uni and served in a large wine glass, it was the favorite of the night. That said if this wasn’t towards the end and you had it first, I think you would miss its beauty. 2024-03-29 vintage so almost exactly a year old. — 16 days ago
