“I wanted to like this based on reviews and the awesome bottle, but I just couldn’t get past the alcohol front taste. I couldn’t appreciate the notes much, it tasted like a cheap sake which surprised me. I like boozy sakes that are funky, and honjozos, but this didn’t have that strong funky quality, just felt a bit sharp rather than crisp. May need to try another bottle.”
“Sublime! Our daughter got us a gift box and all of the bottles were absolutely wonderful. So nice to be able to get such quality Sake shipped so professionally. Highly recommend!”
“This is one of my new favorites. I've enjoyed it both warmed (on a below freezing camping night) and slightly chilled. It's very versatile and exactly where I want the flavor to be. Slightly sweet and has a good body while finishing very clean.”
“We really enjoyed this sake. The body is light, but it has a surprising depth of flavor beneath that. The finish is both earthy and sweet, and full of umami. While it was very good at room temperature, we found it to be even better slightly warmed up. The warmth brought out even more depth to the flavor and lengthened the finish. All around, this is a "whale-ey" good sake, and definitely worth a try!! (Okay, forgive me for that...)”
Thank you for your review, Robert! We are glad you enjoyed both room temp and warm temp. We are happy you were able to imagine the whale to the depth of the sake!
