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.
A bottle from the "Musha Shugyo" series, brewed by Hidehiko Matsumoto — long-time toji (master brewer) at Sawaya Matsumoto — under Shiraito Shuzo, the brewery behind Tanaka 65. The top notes are banana and green apple, with origarami (lees) lending a mellow, gentle taste. The distinctive smooth texture of Tanaka 65's hanegi-shibori pressing carries through.
