Mostly dry with Tropical fruit on the nose, elegant and silky in texture, finishes with light fennel. Quite good.

A little funkier on the nose than I'm happy with but clean and floral otherwise.

Sweet fruit, with a nice creamy mouthfeel, but had that marshmallow finish would have liked that to have been milled out

Hard to beat perfect Uni on top of 104 degree sushi rice paired to this incredible sake

A touch of vanilla, a bit less smooth than wakatake, but an excellent junmai diaginjo nonetheless!

Really nice Junmai Daigingo from Takasago.....has the driest taste of the inside skin of egg shells (I do realize how abstract this sounds) with a powerful finish, really taste the alcohol on this one....almost no sweetness but with a lingering floral note......great after 200 rum based fruit concoctions over the past week

Delicate, clean, pure, intense, refreshing. All at same time.

Great with Bamboo Sushi.
