This bottle was purchased a couple years ago at Yankee Wine and Spirits in Sturbridge, MA. Now, I do not know how well sake ages, but this is at least 2.5 years old. Aroma has some rice and coconut hints with some light minerals. Not overly aromatic. Transparent yellow-twinged body. Ok legging. No carbonation, but appears viscous. Oily mouthfeel. Late ethanol and rice-like burn. Not overly, harsh, though. Light sweet and sugary flavors to start before the ethanolic booze takes over. I suppose this is good for a sake, but I guess I don’t really understand why this is so much better than some of the other sakes I have had. Certainly not worth the $32 I payed for this thing. Oh well.

Pours clear, with a slightly yellowish color. Aroma is floral, kind of green, with honey, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is fruit, honey, melon, and alcohol. Very smooth. This is my first ’real’ sake, and I am very impressed. This ia amazing. Thanks to Andrew for this bottle.

Woow, I fell in love with this sake. It actually resembles a renowned Chinese grain alcohol Wu Liang Ye in terms of flavor. Very sweet, extremely smooth, medium body, somewhat short after taste though.

Pours a clear pale honey color with no head. Aroma is floral, sweet, slightly earthy, honey, grassy, and alcohol. Flavor is floral, fruity, spicy, earthy, and some alcohol.

DLD ’08: Bottle shared by moejuck: Pours clear with some pretty solid legs after a swirl. Aroma, earthy, rice, some fruit character to it. Flavor, rice, some spices, grains, almost bready, fruity notes. The alcohol was pretty evident, and while I’m not a sake fan this was by far the best one I’ve tasted.
