The aroma is rice and alcohol. The appearance is clear like all other sake of the style. The flavor is cheap and like the aroma. The palate is oily. Overall it stinks.

Tallahassee, Fl. - New Leaf Market - 750 ml screw top bottle. Served chilled. Slightly darker than clear pour, almost looks like vinegar - leaves some leg on the sides of the glass. Strong, unpleasant sulphuric aroma, very harsh and industrial-like. Flavor is a blast of pure ethyl alcohol with the same sulfur notes pervading all corners of my mouth and raping my taste buds. Some boiled rice in the finish makes it somewhat palatable. Oily mouthfeel. Oh, the things I will go through to garner a rating these days!
