Clear in color, this looks like water. The nose is light but there is some slight pine and a touch of tangerine. Slightly viscous. On the palate, Umami and alcohol (but restrained). This is very deep and complex. It comes off as simple but really is intriguing. Smooth finish. 300ML

Junmai Nigori. 70% Polish. 14.9% ABV. This is milky/cloudy (the bottle was intentionally shaken before serving), opaque. A viscous texture. On the nose, it has a "rice milk" quality with slight melons. The palate is more about a honeydew fruit quality. Very interesting. Refreshing.

Junmai. 16% ABV. Polish is 60%. Light golden in color. On the nose, it almost has a Chardonnay note along with Umami. On the palate, umami with a slight bitter almond note in the aftertaste.

70% Rice Polishing. 17% ABV. Made with a technique called Bodaimoto which increases the acidity in the starter water. Green/gold in color. The nose smells like a faint scent of vomit (think of those Harry Potter Jelly Beans). Not pleasant but not terrible. Also a bit of banana and vanilla. Much better on the palate with tastes of soft cheese, cream and slight melon. Lots of complexity and is very interesting.

Pale silvery/yellow in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is interesting with pineapple and slight mint. Very smooth. Slight malt note. On the palate, this is peppery with alcohol on the finish. Very easy to drink but some substance here, too. 300ml.
