UPDATED: JAN 25, 2024 Clear almost as water with a very slight white/straw kiss. Big aroma of honey and raspberry and gentle alcohol heat. Smooth flavor that’s got no booze heat, super gentle fruitiness and a clean-as body. Surprisingly delicate and clean, mellow and warm without being hot.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2023 180 ml baby can from World Market in Spokane. Pours clear and still like water. Aroma has notes of honey, rice, custard, cantaloupe. Taste is mildly sweet with flavors like the aroma.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2022 One cup can drunk 7/4/22. Fruity, somewhat muted though, with light earth and soft mineral and a touch of roughness (alcohol, rice hull). Soft, somewhat watery, again muted with cooked rice, alcohol and some borderline glue-like character. Obvious added alcohol here and it's not complex or interesting at all.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2021 180 mL can at home. Pours translucent with faint white gold hues and medium legs. Medium raspberry nose, soft cucumber and melon, light spicy alcohol, and a medium sweet finish.

UPDATED: SEP 23, 2019 Small can poured into a brandy snifter. The sake is a clean honey and floral character. A bit of dough and honey. Lighter body and moderate carbonation.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2019 On draft at Roadhouse Pub & Eatery in Jackson. Pours crystal clear with no head. Aromas are melon and kiwi. Flavors are sweet and fruity.

UPDATED: JUN 19, 2019 Clear pour. Smell of floral and fruit taste of Asian spice and a lasting fruit flavor of pear on the tongue.

UPDATED: JUN 19, 2019 Can: Honey nose. Pale yellow, clear. Honey, subdued koji. Light body, smooth, warm.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2019 Sake on draft wowza at Seito Sushi. Clear pour. Nose nose of melon, spice and florals. Taste of watermelon, Asian pears, white flowers, peppery. Some booze present and thicker bodied.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2019 180ml pull-top can from World Market. Dumped, not poured, into a wine glass. Color is slightly darker than water, but not by much. Aroma is sweat, rice, glue, dog shit, light fruit. Flavor is rice, booze, pear. Simple. Pretty smooth for the alcohol content. It's definitely warming but the booze flavor doesn't linger. Hey look, my first Saké - Genshu rating!
