Pours with a clear, but slightly yellow body with a bit of haze. Strong legs on the glass. Banana and amonia aroma. Milky mouthfeel. Alcohol forward taste.

$38 for the bottle at Ichiro. I don’t know if that is considered a good price or not. Pours a yellow tint with a nice neck. Smells of faint apples, sweet rice, vanilla, boozy. Tastes of sweet rice and fruity. Refreshing.

My first Tokubetsu. Pours a clear color that has strange yellow brown swirls in it. Nose of melons and rice and has a medium mouthfeel. Taste is a bit off with some tropical fruits and decent mouthcoating finish. Nothing special.

Aroma of sweet creamy rice and some tropical notes. Pours pale yellow. Decent amount of oily legs. Some rich tropical fruit on the palate. A hint of spice. Medium bodied with an alcoholic bite for a finish. Simple.

Courtesy of the local Vine Source rep Jason at a tasting. Rich fruity aroma. Light yellow body. Rice flavor with fruit flavors in the finish.
