| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Nov 4, 2005 Tryed 1992 reserve Kikusakari Daiginjo. Fantastic fruit aroma, with a strong pear core smell. Very light in the sake cup, with only a slight yellowing. Wow...the smell. Taste rolls over your tongue in a more subtle way than most daiginjo sakes. Unbelievable fruity taste...I taste pear, pineapple, orange, cherry, plum...it goes on. Tutti frutti is the best word for it. Don’t miss this. It will turn you into a sake fanatic. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 18, 2004 Tried at the new NYC restaurant, Megu, in Tribeca (Manhattan). Their "kimono bar" has walls lined with rolls of kimono cloth and the sake menu was assembled with the help of John Gauntner - the #1 English-speaking sake expert. Boasting about 20 daiginjos, the list was impressive, and I settled on the Gekkakow, which was immensely fragrant of candy and sweetness. Again, it reminds me of cotton candy from the circus, and is quite sweet for sake. The abv is NOWHERE to be found, as you'd expect from such a premium offering. Light body with hints of fruit. Delicious.
