“This sake is sweet and acidic. I prefer to drink it as a standalone beverage as I find the sweetness fights with a savory meal. Very tasty and great as an after-dinner treat.”
“I was introduced to this by way of a 'meet the brewery' video session. It is small batch with limited distribution, and we are very lucky that Tippsy is able to have it as an offering. Hinohikari, which is a table rice, results in a bit more full bodied sake. The brewers recommended it to be good with spicy food and I can say it paired well with homemade chili.
Opening it, it had a bit of sparkle on tongue when first poured. Very distinctive and delicious. I highly recommend it!”
Hi Charles - thank you so much for your review, and it was great meeting you at the Wakabotan online live tasting event! A little sparkle on the tongue = "pichi pichi" conversation really made my day. Kampai to you!
“Wonderful!
I typically don’t think of Oita Prefecture when I think of SAKÉ; however, this junmai ginjo (pure rice saké) genshu (undiluted), muroka (unfiltered) is simply WONDERFUL.
Hinohikari rice?
I had never heard it before experiencing this soft, light,
fruit-forward beverage. Ahh …
The label is pink flowers. Hmm …
I thought. Flowers? Well, if it suggests LOVE and AFFECTION…
I’m sold.
As drinkable as kisses from the
fairy princess; just lie back and enjoy it.
The waves of silk and satin
wash away one’s cares.
With absolutely no trace of
off putting saké scent/alcohol nose
this fine Nihonshu 日本酒 is 100% seductive and satisfying.
This beautiful lady was born to please; I am totally pleased.
Buy it; love it.
Kanpai 乾杯”
