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.
One bottle from the "Musha Shugyo" series, brewed by Hidehiko Matsumoto — long-serving toji (master brewer) at Sawaya Matsumoto — under Hananoka Shuzo, the brewery behind Hananoka. A gorgeous aroma reminiscent of fresh fruit, with a dense sweetness. Perhaps owing to the water quality at Hananoka Shuzo, it finishes with a viscous, syrupy texture.
