375ml bottle: Pours to a completely opaque, cloudy white with some dirty yellow tints and no head. The aroma is honeydew melon rind, mild vanilla bean, light chocolate, banana, pineapple or mild citrus, alcohol, a combination of light yeast & wonderbread, and a very mild hint of black pepper. The taste is mild rice & flower at first, it’s actually surprising how mild it is as it hits the tongue. However this quickly explodes into rose petals (without the bitterness), alcohol, mild coconut, buttery almonds, cocoa bean, soy milk, mild vanilla, white chocolate. Medium-full bodied for a sake, thick & silky in the mouth, the alcohol is high but the mouthfeel is very comforting and smooth. Finishes with some alcohol-honeydew-peach-vanilla-white chocolate flavors.

does not count  Apr 15, 2008 Aroma is ricey with banana and slightly yeasty. It has a creamy texture with some noticeable sediment - but not unpleasantly so. The taste is sweat with a strong rice flavor with more subtle hints of coconut and maybe some mango. There is a slight alcohol burn at the end.
As a side note - I have had a couple of different 375ml bottles bought from whole foods in Chicago. There seems to be quite a bit of variation in the taste of this sake since some bottles seemed sweeter or fruiter than others. Certainly not the most consistent Sake, but still one I enjoy regularly.

Mar 25, 2008 The aroma is rice and alcohol. The appearance is cloudy white. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thick for a sake. Overall I am not crazy about it but it’s drinkable.

Mar 25, 2008 Quite good in its over all style. The sake is very sweet and its taste is chunky, with a slight tangy sensation. straight forward and tasty at its core.
