Interesting wine. Crisp and subtle, with light pear and rice/grain flavors on a mineral base. Somewhat short, but harmonious and refreshing. I can see this working well with oysters.

Bought for five bucks as a curiosity. Well more than worth it. At least on the first night, not past its prime at all. Thin but refreshing. Agree with the review about mild sauv blanc and jasmine.

Light-bodied and subtle; anyone who expects a wine to beat them over the head with flavor will be disappointed. I found this Koshu to be a bit like a very mild sauvignon blanc enhanced by an intriguing jasmine aroma. I recommend serving it with only a slight chill to enhance the aromas and flavors and to prevent the acidity from dominating.

Bought after reading about it in asimov's column. Fun wine, almost tastes like a 7-up that's not sweet.

wow, really thin and almost transparent palate. Lunch wine... or brunch.
