UPDATED: OCT 28, 2019 [as Kozaemon Tokubetsu Junmai Shinano Miyamanishiki Sake ] Bevuto a temperatura ambiente (una delle temperature consigliate). L'aspetto del liquido è limpido, senza colore e trasparente. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il gusto al naso - aroma dominante è di riso maltato Koji. Il gusto al naso - aromi secondari dona impressioni di melone, fruttato e secco. La prima impressione di intensità in bocca è di sake robusto per un gusto morbido e ricco. Il corpo è rotondo. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la persistenza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Al gusto vengono assegnati toni di anice, pino, vaniglia, melone, albicocca appassita, mela verde e pepe.

Bottle - Aromatic green apple and melon. Rich body. Light acidity. Anise in the finish. Nice with a surprisingly fresh nose.

Bottle shared at the 2015 chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear. The nose holds light anise, pine, vanilla. Medium to big sweet flavour, with notes of creamy vanilla and alcohol. Full bodied and lightly oily. Warming on the finish, creamy, with vanilla frosting, pineapple and subtle herbs. Nice.

Bottle share at Chriso’s. Clear, no colour, no head. Aroma is fruity, strawberry, banana. Body is medium, smooth, low carbonation. Taste is gin, alcohol burn, dry, flowery, touch of pineapple sweetness. Pretty characterful for a sake.

Bottle at Chris & Ruth’s pre-GBBF shindig, 2015. Atypical light gold pour. Lots of dessert pear in the aroma. Smooth, sweet fruit flavours. Tangy, sweet finish. I like this.
