Sawanoi Junmai Daikarakuchi
Bottle for no reason other than had a hankering. Pours almost clear with the faintest yellow tinge. Nose of melon and alcohol. Tastes of honey dew, rice, vanilla, and grain alcohol. Pretty big bodied for sake withnoily texture. Pretty nice.

Sawanoi Junmai Ginjo Sake
Sampled at Japanese pavilion at Epcot. Pours clear with a hint of color. Slightly sweet, fruity and touch of wood aroma. Touch of sweetness in the taste, very dry and wine like.

Sawanoi Junmai Ginjo Sake
While Tokyo isn't a famed sake brewing region, Sawanoi is a decent Ginjo. Fruity and light (some may say watery). Touch of sourness. Not as dry as advertised! It certainly didn't seem to be a +10, though I've read that the differences between a +10 and a +4 are subtle.
