Akishika Chiaki (Bambi Cup) Junmai Sake

Cup. Pours a clear water color with a lightly yellow hue. Soft rice on the nose, lightly floral. Medium bodied, smooth, the alcohol hits before the rice, somewhat abrupt and without much nuance. Warm rice and alcohol, slight sweetness and yeast on the finish. Nothing amazing, but the cup is super cute.

Cup Sake @ Buri: Cute little deer on the cup, awww. Strong koji in the nose, bright alcohol, light rice, light fruit, lots of anise. Strong light nigori flavor, thick body and a moderate mouthfeel. Nice sake, straight forward Junmai with nothing noteworthy.
