dchmela (833), Orlando, Florida, USA Nov 7, 2007 From bottle at Epcot food and wine. Pours almost clear. Very dry slightly fruity aroma. Taste is dry like a wine with earthy, rice notes and some hints of fruit. You really need to like dry wine to like this. desurfer (1049), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA May 12, 2006 This is my first sake, so I’m not exactly sure what to expect. Pours almost colorless and slightly hazy. Somewhat fruity aroma, but this is light. Some alcohol noticeable. Flavor is very alcoholic, seems much more than 15%. Very dry with some flowery character. Finish is boozy. Alright, I guess, but I don’t have anything to compare it to. BückDich (4605), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 10, 2006 Updated: Jan 11, 2006Light obscure beige color. I wish I had a snake eye cup. Instead I’m using a white guinomi. Usually I use my Le Face Cachee de la Pomme mini tulip. As does Oakes by the look of his ratings. Good sake tasting glass that is. Anyways. This has a nose of light floral nectar and spring melons but at the same time dusty dehydrated notes of the former. The flavor has a strong bit of ethanol and vodka notes along with some earthy plum and vanilla notes. The balance is there too as the nose matches the flavor fairly close. If memory serves me right, +15 is the highest nihonshu-do a sake can get when it ferments out, so this is about as dry as they get and surprisingly, I don’t mind it. It’s fairly pleasant. Finishes grassy and light bodied. I can see this going well after a big greasy meal. badgerben (3234), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 27, 2005 Pours as clear as water. Thinly veiled aroma of alcohol. Nice, light flavors of honey and flowers. Beautiful texture of velvet.
