Served cold. Poured clear. Light aroma of some apple, a bit of honey, perhaps a touch of alcohol. Flavor follows and is surprisingly sweet with notes of honey and wildflowers, some dark fruits, coconut, with perhaps a touch of alcohol coming in. Pretty smooth. Overall a nice sake, though not as subtle as the finest, and has a clean sweet flavor and goes down easily.

At the Wine House Sake Tasting. Pours with a clear hue and strong legs. Aroma is fruity with melon, almonds and mandarin orange. Taste is fruity, chalky and a touch spicy as far as sakes go. Medium viscosity, decent balance.

I had this as part of a Sake sampler at Japan in Epcot. Poured a clear color. Aromas of rice with some faint fruitiness . Tastes of the same...rice, fruitiness, and some coconut.

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and colourless with no head. Aroma is mild spiced and slight plastic. Dry and spiced flavour with a mild earthy to liqourice. Mild spiced and warming alcohol finish.

Bottle... Clear with no legs, but it’s a small sample. A touch of fennel in the nose. Thin, watery texture. Sweet, but not overly so, with no acidity or bitterness. Kinda gross, but I’m not much of a sake guy.

Clear as water w/ spicey aromatics and just a hint of the chocolate bamboo. Light and dry w/ a plesant fruity charcter. Refined flavors of bamboo and hard candy necklace. The finish is polished w/ defined alcohol and lingering candy fruit. Not a complex specimen but surely delicious.

Pour is clear...faint floral sweet aroma, but very faint...flavor is dry with a faint nutty character...
