| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Pours to a glowing red-orange wood colored body with no head and and nice long clear legs. The aroma is mesquite smoked rice and delicate floral components hiding below the smoke. The flavor is also a mesquite smoked rice with notes of hickory and finishes with a delicate floral rice and fruits. The palate is sweet and fruit juicy. Mouth watering but not dry. Nice light acidity on the tip of my tongue. Very nice. No alcohol whatsoever. Smooth. As I experience this sake, the longer I drink it, the more I notice some sort of bing cherries and plums. This was a marvelous sake. redlight (1492), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 30, 2007 Some berries on the nose, hints of citrus. Pours clear red, or pinkish? Smoooth fruit, citrus and berries, notes of strawberry, raspberry, with passion fruit, yeast, and a tartness, all covered with a bready flavor. Very different, i see the resemblance with a Red Rice Ale. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2007 Light peach pour. Sourdough bread, and funked out fruits. taste is pretty darn smooth. Almost tastes like a flat beer. Pretty doughy, with some light citrus, and some very light smoke in the finish. I have not had too many saki’s and this is my first saki rating but I thought this one was pretty good. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 13, 2005 Smoky, sourdough, almost meaty salami, earthy and alcoholic aroma. Clear peach-pink coloured body is very viscous and coats the sides of the glass. Very floral and smoky, spicy flavour with underlying meatiness and a lasting sweet aftertaste. Alcohol not apparent on the tongue. Some doughy, rice pudding characteristics. Light body wit fairly strong alcohol warming. While not my favourite sake, it is interesting to have given it a try. Bottle from RBSG 2005. Ungstrup (15371), Frederiksberg, Denmark

The sake is peach colored with no head. The aroma is flowery with notes of rosehips and nuts. The flavor has a touch of coconut besides the flowery notes. Thanks to Büch Dich for bringing my first sake rating. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

The flavor has light alcohol, lightly sweet with some more koji than I usually like. Interesting sake, much more earthy than I had thought it would be.
