Clear with very faint yellow hues. Thick drooping legs. The aroma is interesting and a bit different then the other sakes I have tried. Melon (on the verge of being bad), cedar, pepper, and alcohol. The flavor is quite nice. The cedar really comes out late. Up front it is more melon and some sweetness. Before and immediately after the swallow the cedar kicks in. Soft and full mouthfeel. This is probably my favorite sake that I have tried. Graned my sample size is small.

Musty cedar aroma, with spices and alcohol. Pours clear. Smooth cedar, sweet rice, yeasty, peppermint, feels thick and creamy yet very thin. Excellent!

Thanks to the guys at Knightly for turning me on to this! Pours out nice and clear. You can definitely tell the cedar barrel influence on the aroma, giving it a woody peppery aroma. As this get colder, I started to get more fruit in the taste along with some alcohol and pepper. Leaves a hint of fruit in the aftertaste. Very clean smooth drink that is much better than any other sake I have had before.

720mL Bottle: Clear almost beige tinge, nice ropey legs. The aroma is thick with koji and light pepper with a hint of cedar. The flavor has a sweet impact with a muffled alcohol mouthfeel. Finishes dry and rounded. The tail is lingering with dry and acidic notes but very refreshing. I really enjoyed this sake!
