Room Temperature: Sweet vodka in aroma along with some nutty hints. Dry alcohol with hints of lemon and rice. A bit other fruits too. Warmed up (approx 40 C): Sweet Vodka aroma. Dry alcohol with hints of fruit and rice in flavour. Alcohol is more present than at room temperature. On The Rocks: Vodka aroma. Very dry stinging alcohol in flavour. Boring. My first sake.

Almond nutty nose. Thin and sweet. Little lemony on top of tongue. Dry on the sidesof mouth and down the back. Unpleasent aftertaste.

Maybe I’m just not knowledgeable enough whre sake is concerned ... or maybe I just haven’t had the good stuff. Had Gekkeikan last night, served warm. I nursed it and it seems the first few sips were pretty good, all ricey and what-not. But by the end of the cup, it was tasting more and more like pure alcohol. I poured the last little bit out. Won’t be buying it again.

This tastes too much like alcohol. It seems to me cheap and unworthy of my time and money. It is nice to your throat all warm going down though, especially if you’re sick or getting sick.
