Part of sake flight at Bamboo Sushi Portland OR. This was my least favorite of the three sakes in the flight. Still smooth but not quite to the level of the others.

jookos (764) - Helsinki, FINLAND - OCT 2, 2012
Bottle. Clear pale colourless. Nose is quite fruity. As cold almost like a sweet pear cider. Or some sort of fruit candy, feels almost artificial the fruity floral/perfumy nose. Below that a rice backing. Body is a bit light, with the fruityness making it feel almost sweet. A dusty-dry finish. Sort of nice. Easily drunk.

chris__hartley (165) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 13, 2012
It pours faint yellow and mostly transparent and clear. The aroma has notes of: rice koji, fuji apples, alcohol, pepper, and a slight earthiness. The taste is medium sweet with a medium acidity; there are notes of: apples, alcohol, and blossoms. The palate is medium bodied, with a slight viscosity; a very clean taste. Overall, quite mediocre, but refined.

BMan1113VR (7381) - Los Angeles, California, USA - APR 9, 2012
Bottle. Pours with a clear hue, some legs, no real color. Aromas are of stone, minerals, bubblegum, mild koji, pear, asian pear, banana and a bit starchy. Flavors are starchy and pretty sweet. Bubble gum, banana, stone fruit and minerals. Medium viscosity, short duration, with the sweetness on the tongue lasting longer than other flavors. Not a great sake.

hawthorne00 (1860) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - DEC 30, 2011
Bottle, 11C. Clear. Aroma of dried berries and flowers. Smooth, light texture. Rather neutral taste with most of the action being a perfumed aftertaste, but there’s gentle honeydew melon running though it. Floral with light herbal notes at the end, a little alcohol. It’s been a long time since I tried sake and I have no idea - but I enjoyed this.

thebeertourist (4271) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 31, 2011
Bottle. Pale straw colour. Bready, aniseed aroma. Dry herbal notes, licorice flavours, quite dry. Full- bodied. Nice and rich.

joet (1919) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - MAR 20, 2011
Served slightly chilled, pours clear, aroma is floral with hints of anise, taste is slightly sweet with little apparent alcohol, no sugar to the feel which is very clean, nothing boozy, warming or fusely about this.

Very smooth sake. The alcohol is quite discernable, yet very nice drinkability. Slightly floral.
