Tastes

Both on the nose and palatte, fresh strawberries on the cutting board, lychee and white grape. Smooth sipping and refreshing.

Nose: tropical, banana and a hint of sweet cherry and melon Palate: Full and round with a rich mouth feel. Cherry and melon with a pepper finish. Smooth.

A kimoto Junmai style brewing, this one is ricy, earthy and mineral on the tongue. A pleasant and steady build of herbs, pepper and muted fruits soaked in slightly astringent alcohol.

Ultra refreshing, water-like texture. Initial pure spring flavor fades into orange and christmas spices, slightly sweet and savory. A description I read elsewhere said, 'the taste of walking into AC from late July heat' couldnt agree more. Incredibly smooth, balanced and crisp.

Minimal nose at chilled temp, some pepper and light green bean. When heated opens up with aroma of steamed mushrooms, woodiness and more powerful green bean collander scent. Best tasted warm although good at all temps. Umami and savory flavors unique to Yamahai brewing. Enoki, steamed roots and vegetables, soft and light on the palate.

Crisp and dry with hints of light apple and melon. Fresh cream and vanilla. The expectation of drinking from a pure cold mountain stream

Limited aroma, coconut shavings, rice and starch. Bananas, rum and tres leches. Creamy rice fragments and a finish of spice and alcohol to balance the sweetness. Stands up with strong blue cheese, hamburger, spicy food.

Nose: Apple, white pepper, ethanol, rice Light body, smooth with a spiced, quick finish. Melon, apple and tropical fruits with rice and white pepper on the finish. Gohyakumangoku 60% RPR 300 ML bottle.
