Pours clear with a hint of yellow. Aroma of rice and yeast with a touch fruit. Smooth grainy rice body with hints of sweet fruit, slightly dusty fruity taste. Decent ginjo.

180 ml bottle in NYC. Clear, a little yellow. Fruity, lemon zest, a little vinegar. A hint of over-ripe fruit. Very clean flavour, but it ends up too sour for me.

Very clear with some well defined legs on the glass. Strong alcohol aroma with maybe some pinapple. Taste is very strong alcohol with a bit of banana and vanilla to round it off. Somewhat unbalanced and not too pleasing to drink.

(Bottle) Pours a transparent body with a very slight green/yellow tinge. Mild aroma of alcohol, steamed brown rice, chestnuts, and light grass. Flavor is mostly alcohol with vanilla, hard water, and almond.

Nose is sweet and sour. Pours a clear color. Tastes like citrus a bit and is very sweet and soft, almost watery. Alcohol content is amazingly hidden. Pretty nice but I am no saki expert.

cocnut, some rice, very light alcohol aroma also....clear as can be ... quite sweet and pleasant, but lacks something.. alcohol is hidden very well, for 15-16 it is a dream ... i can see this going well with a spicy dish... overall: a nice easy going simple sake but i have had better for cheaper, a good starter sack!

Clear still white. Nose held light fruity notes with touches of flroals and steamed white rice. Initial rubbing alcohol flavors slowly warm to anise and ricey notes. Light bodied with loads of alcohol. Might as well have been the standard warm Ozeki. Way to rough around around the edges...
