Commercial Description:
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Seimaibuai: 60%
Nihonshu-do: +1

Fermented over a long period of time at a low temperature. You can enjoy the fragrance and rich savor special to Kikusui's pure rice sake, as well as its lightness and smoothness. Elegance is its strongest sales feature.

Drank cold at Chinios in Vegas. Good flavor for me. I like Sake and this was not a burning strong flavor yet mild and a bit sweet.

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and colourless with no head. Aroma is mild spiced and slight plastic. Dry and spiced flavour with a mild earthy to liqourice. Mild spiced and warming alcohol finish.

Bottle... Clear with no legs, but it’s a small sample. A touch of fennel in the nose. Thin, watery texture. Sweet, but not overly so, with no acidity or bitterness. Kinda gross, but I’m not much of a sake guy.

Clear as water w/ spicey aromatics and just a hint of the chocolate bamboo. Light and dry w/ a plesant fruity charcter. Refined flavors of bamboo and hard candy necklace. The finish is polished w/ defined alcohol and lingering candy fruit. Not a complex specimen but surely delicious.

Pour is clear...faint floral sweet aroma, but very faint...flavor is dry with a faint nutty character...
