I really enjoyed this. Cherry notes, spicy. Medium body. Certainly good for the $10 I payed for it.

Smell: Sweet, coconut, and bubblegum. (I looked at their description, read bubblegum, and sniffed again and realized it is there. never expected to find that)

Color: A little more yellow than other nigori sakès. Cloudy of course.

Taste: My first thought was pina colada. It's sweeter than the other sakès I've had from them. There some of that bubblegum like flavor again. There's another flavor there I can't identify. It has an anise and citrus finish.

I like this a lot but it is rather sweet which makes me think of it as more of a dessert "wine." I'm sure it would go well with spicy dishes as well as suggested.

A little sweet, coconut, banana, and maybe melon flavors. The bits of rice in here is a little more substantial than some other nigori I've had. Didn't pair so well with my mild japanese curry.

Strawberry and cherry with maybe a little bacon. Pleasent tannins and slightly sweet. Light body. I like this and certainly worth the price I paid (less than $10).

Had this at a friend's house. The wine smelled like grapefruit and maybe some green apple. Taste was mostly white grape (reminded me of Welche's sparking white grape) and some green apple maybe. It was sweet but not overly sweet. It was easy to drink and while the flavors weren't very complex it was very pleasant.

Smooth. Nice Coconut and banana flavor. Sweet but not syrupy. Nice little tannin like bite. I like this better than the Momokawa Pearl. (although that is good too)

My first and only PS, I enjoyed this a lot. Nice berries and found the tannins to be pleasant. Decanted for about 30 min before dinner (steak). There was a fair amount of sediment so decant carefully.

I enjoyed this wine. I didn't take notes but from memory I recall it having nice fruit flavor and being dry.
