Bottle: Pours clear with thick legs. The nose is especially perfumey and floral with a light anise and alcohol note. Sweeter flavor with a very mellow impact, a brighter acidity in the mouthfeel than I was expecting, and a little dry koji in the background. The nose is well put together and the body is meaty enough to sip. Good sake!

Poured a t a warm 95 deg.F. Very clear and almost colorless ..just a slight greenish tint to it against the pure white of my ochoko. Lovely subtle nose: floral tones, spices, a dose of licorice root and some alcohol. taste is velvety smooth and infused with subtle melon and balsam tones....light dry warming finish. Very pleasant sake.

Served hot- poured clear as water, no evidence of oil at all. Aroma of grasses and floral. Hits the mouth cleanly with a defined body of fruit notes, rice, a hint of bitterness. Flavor stayed the same as it cooled, and the alcohol is very well hidden. Delightful.

Clear colour. Somewhat sour fruit nose with alcoholic hints. Somewhat sour fruity flavour with alcoholic hints. Tart and fresh palate.
