300 ml bottle from City Market in Burlington VT (March 2008), served cold from a White Winter Winery glass. Very clear, perhaps a slight yellowish tint, a bit oily-looking, very faint legs in the glass.....beautiful delicate floral/coconut aroma with a bit of lychee as it warms up a bit, not a trace of alcohol in the nose....quite sweet and rich on the palate at the front, lightly nutty-milky and malty, drying and becoming assertively alcoholic and somewhat metallic at the finish, but not problematically so....ends rather quickly, warming. Pretty solid overall, perhaps a bit much to drink a whole bottle of (which I’m doing anyway).

Apr 13, 2008 Rating 600 for me. Pours crystal clear with almost no legs. Alcohol and melons in the nose. Smooth taste and somewhat of a thin body. Taste is fruity a bit of rice and warms the stomach. Not bad, my first Honjozo.

Apr 12, 2008 Chilled bottle from Party Town. Poured clear color with soft legs. Moderate melons and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a dry texture. Medium pineapple flavor with a medium sweet warming finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met with a good dry sake for #3200.

Mar 27, 2008 Hello Honjozo! ..served slightly chilled...
Pours clear and possess a light aroma..
Quite flavourful, rice and light soft fruits...
Is nice down the throat and sits well in the mouth, the flavour and feel are very mellow in the after taste/sip...
..The added alcohol is noticeable but the abv seems much lower due to its smoothness...
..nice stuff!

Mar 2, 2008 Good stuff. Aroma is fruity-sweet with pineeapple and coconut. Clear pour with large legs. Taste is sweet with a nicely strong alcohol finish (although not harsh considering the 15-16%). Oily mouthfeel. My first of this style, but it tastes pretty good.
