Naka (407), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 29, 2008 I had to open it like a child safety cap, which took me awhile to figure out considering you can’t see what the actual cap looks like. Pours the color of peach or nectarine flesh. Has a lot more color than a lot of the sakes that I’ve seen. Has a nose of sweet rasins, brown sugar, and cheap caramels. A sort of malty flavor almost like a dubbel with strong alcohol. Very strong taste and didn’t seem very refined. This seems nothing like other ratings... Did I get a weird bottle? Palidor19 (1245), Brandon, Florida, USA May 30, 2007 Its flavor is mostly a dry rice flavor. medium palate with a mild touch of oiliness. overall a decent drinking sake. nick76 (2015), Tampa, Florida, USA May 29, 2007 The aroma is rice and alcohol with some grass like qualities. The appearance is nearly clear. The taste is somewhat watery with rice and alcohol. The palate is thin with some oily properties. This is a pretty typical sake. SoLan (1182), Orlando, Florida, USA Feb 28, 2007 Very pale yellow. Heavy nose of sweet, mild, licorice like herbalness, light fruits (pears, apples), and subtle alcohol warmth. Same flavor adds some over-steamed rice and a dry, starchy, alcoholic finish. Medium body. Decent. jjpm74 (2878), Connecticut, USA Feb 22, 2007 Pours clear with a slight greenish tint. Smells of fermented rice, milk, some hints of maple. Tastes of rice, vanilla, candy, toffee. The alcohol is not pronounced or in your face on this sake. Much better than most other sakes I’ve tried.
