Ryujin Shuzo Reviews

beastiefan2k	3.8 Ryujin Oze x Rosé Junmai Diaginjo 720ml bottle. This is such a fun sake. It’s so fruity in a light in the well polished sake way. Very rose petals water with a sweetness that covers any alcohol. More fun than polished. Friday, January 5, 2024
labeerinthum	3.6 Oze no Yukidoke Ohkarakuchi Junmai Bevuto freddo. Il colore è giallo spento. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto al naso - aroma dominante è di riso maltato Koji. Il gusto al naso - aromi secondari trova sentori di floreale, granuloso e spezie. La prima impressione di intensità in bocca è di sake deciso. L'aroma alla lingua è piuttosto sul secco. Il corpo è strutturato. L'intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Al palato arrivano note di cereali, acqua di sorgente, whisky, gin, spezie, pepe bianco e minerale. Sunday, August 20, 2023
