Among the closest shapes (at most one axis off by one step), ordered by score. Re-reviews of the same sake are excluded and each brewery appears once. Where fewer than four qualify, the next closest shapes fill the gap.
From Jikon, the brand that dropped Numata into the bottomless pit of sake — this is the guaranteed-kill combo of Omachi rice and muroka nama (unfiltered, unpasteurised). A rich sweetness like fully ripe fruit, a clean acidity, and a refreshing astringency that closes out the aftertaste all aim for a technical knockout in your mouth. One sip destroys your language centre, and all you can say anymore is "delicious."
