Commercial Description:
Lychee was once a favorite fruit of Emperor Li Longi’s special concubine, Yang Yuhuan in the Tang Dynasty. HANA Lychee appeals with aroma that fulfills the palate with the intense flavor of this exotic fruit. The lovely, lingering finish continues the rich lychee taste. Its low alcohol makes it a fine aperitif, either straight up or on the rocks.

Bottle: Pours a clear color without any legs. Nose of fresh lychee fruit, perhaps the lychees in syrup. A bit of peach and mint as well. No sake notes in the flavor. Good, fresh tasting with a light bitterness. Clean, but certainly NOT sake. Lychee apperatif.

Poured into flute from 750ml bottle. This is for people who don’t like sake. The only flavour is lychee. Still nice for dessert with dark chocolate.

Well lets give this a whirl, know nothing too much about Sake and usually not a big fan (probably only had the bad kind). Chilled and poured into a port wine glass. Color is water clear (normal or not?). Aroma is all sweet lychee, very perfume-y, and other sweet tropical fruits. No alcohol at all, smells like a nicely sweetened water without going over the top. Taste is similarly sweetened water with just a the faintest indication that it may be alcohol. I am enjoying the crap out of it right now (I love lychee) but I feel like I am cheating kind of like alcohol-pop beverages. But my inexperience leads to me to rate it well enough.
