Rich and creamy on the palate with a touch of sweetness. Melon, blueberry and mineral water with a clean, floral finish.

Sake tasting. Yamaha rice selection. Really nice. To me it’s a medium weight on the palate, creamy, with a little bit of alcohol on the finish. I’m a fan of Born in general. 32% polish. 16% ABV. Fukui, Japan.

Really nice. Sharp but aromatic, just a hint of sweetness.

Melon and peach notes, but a bit over-powered by the alcohol.
