There’s nothing quite like swimming under the stars at night, and this sake captures that feeling in a dreamy wave of citrus, pineapple, and banana flavors with a surprising undercurrent of light mint. Like the koi fish emblazoned on the can, the slightly light body and cheeky dryness will have you swimming along with a smile on your face. Bring Night Swim along to all of your late night shenanigans.

Extremely smooth, very easy to drink
This is my go-to sake for bringing to a lake in the summer. It is best when cold (the taste gets a bit harsher as it warms up), and it is perfect for floating on the lake in a boat or going for a swim.
Great size but nothing overwhelmingly great. Drinkable but there is definitely better out there at a similar price point.
Perfect size and taste
When I purchased this, I was worried I'd taste the can. But I was pleasantly surprised that the sake was light and pleasant with no residual aluminum flavor. The 180ml is a perfect size for a little sake treat without needing to share a bottle or drink it over a couple days.
I have tried a couple Tozai sakes and, in my opinion, they are acceptable but nothing to rave about. I LOVE that these come in individual cans which was the selling point for me. They have a slight alcohol taste with no umami flavor that I can tell. I might consider buying this again since they come in cans or for use in a cocktail.
great sake and very convenient but doesnt always ship so well.
Great flavor profile one of the favorites!
This is a great everyday sake! The cans are the perfect size for having one in the evenings and the flavors are very tasty and pair well with drinking snacks. It's not the most premium flavor, but it's perfect for what it is! I love this one and we always keep a few cans on hand for casual drinking!! I would highly recommend it!
