Tasting comments

Nobuhiro Ueno
(Juku to Kan Bar Master / Permanent Director of the Toki Sake Association)The top has a banana-like scent (derived from esters), and a faint glue-like scent (ethyl acetate) that I remember from my childhood. The taste has a gentle banana-like sweetness, followed by an acidity that crispens the palate. Thanks to the moderate astringency, it washes away cleanly while leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Hidekazu Ishiwata
(Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)Light yellow. There is a faint charred note in the orthonasal aroma. The retronasal aroma is a relaxed, mature aroma, with banana-like isoamyl acetate fruit, and a caramel-like nuance. Smooth texture, fullness, and firmness due to light acidity.

Akiko Toda
(Director of ITTEKI, Japan Sake and Meat Research Institute)It has a scent reminiscent of wisteria flowers, and occasionally a refreshing scent like green bananas. The gradual layers of fragrance create an interesting sense of depth. A well-balanced sake combining smoothness from maturation and gentleness from the ginjo aromas.

Yuji Yamauchi
(Yushima Tenjinshita Sushi Hatsu 4th generation / 1st JSA SAKE DIPLOMA competition winner)A fragrance derived from rice and a gentle ginjo aroma.
The rich flavor and balance give a sense of calm.
The aftertaste also leaves a delicious taste.
