Thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this nice one. Clear body with strong legs left on the glass. Aroma of rice and wrotten pineapple. Tastee is sweet, but a bit watery at 14.5% and a little watery. Kind of a buttery mouthfeel. Very smooth drinking.

Pours a pale yellow color that is brilliant and clear. Super smooth, to the point of being like sugar water. I was amazed by the smoothness. Notice the acidity levels in the description, anyone who does not give this beer a 4 or 5 on palate is a fool. Taste is sweet, dry, a bit fruity and very ricey. I liked this one but was not super impressed in the taste department.

300mL Bottle: Clear color, nose is sweet with light koji and grainy notes, a bit of alcohol. The flavor is nutty and a bit acidic and harsh but not completely bad. Moderate alcohol, harsh koji and a noticed lack of fruity melon characteristics and a buttery mouthfeel. Decent, but not that great. the line between the two is large.

Quite drinkable, and my favorite sake of about 4 tried so far. Quite like the unpasteurized one I had, this is delightfully sweet (walnut nut meat) and flowery. Very drinkable. The aroma components I just plain old can't get to (too much alcohol) but that alcohol presence is really barely detectable in the flavor. Yes!
