No sake cups, so I made do with a handmade tea cup, for those who know their wabi from their sabi. Pale yellow white. Clean, yeasty nose. Dry, melon fruity with minerality and a hint of tangerine peel, litchi and spice. Simple, nuanced.

Rich and straightforward, sweet, a bit cumbersome and frankly boring. It'll do in a pinch tho

Melon and fruity. Felt a little unbalanced on the palate. It was round and rich but the alcohol had some bite

not that I'm terribly well-versed in sake but this one was really good, compared to the house sake I usually get. I'd attempt to note the flavours but I don't really know what I'm doing here lol

Fruity aroma, tropical. Light and dry. Spicy on the back. Medium finish.
