Appearance: bubbly, almost clear with slight yellowish tint
Flavor: some apples, pears, grains, sweet vinegar, minerals
Palate: thick and filling--coats the mouth--slightly warm, no intensive alcohol burning

Apr 1, 2006 250ml bottle, $5.99 at Joe’s Place in Norman. Pours almost water clear but with a light yellow hue, bubbling like soda water with big round CO2 bubbles quickly fizzing to the top to create a slightly filmy white head which dies rather quickly. Initial scent is geen apple peel, similar to what others have said, along with a medicinal milky scent that I find common in sake (very heavy in nigori) but which I can’t describe any better. Clean aroma, if that means anything.
Mouth feel is very strange to me: carbonated like a soda, slightly filmy and creamy, and quickly dissolving across the tongue, fizzing the tongue like Sprite. Sweet flavors of band-aids, white grapes, pears and green apples give this a nice juicy flavor, overall more sweet than sour, and actually the carbonation, which I presume is more novelty than convention, is something I really enjoy. Worth a try for the education aspects of sake for someone like me who is still a novice, I guess, but very steep at $6 per bottle.

Oct 2, 2006 Was pretty cheap. Looks like a sparkling seltzer water. Lots of residual sugars. Decent legs. The sake smells of rice and floral oils. Lots of rice yeast/fungus too. The flavor is sweet and winey with noticeable floral rice yeasts. Nice balance and complexity. Fruity melons. Lively palate and a nice smooth texture. I liked it and would buy again to drink with sushi.

Oct 2, 2006 clear pour w/ some vizable carbonation and a tiny foam like white head.. this stuff looks like tonic water but has legs on the glass. Light aroma smells of alcohol and the standard rice sake smell w/ some light ginger notes. Palate is well carbonated and has a decent body. Flavor is very sweet like a champagne mixed w/ sake. nice sugars light alcohol light fruity notes. very delicate and quite nice. A darn good sake even if it is pretty wierd.
