I had this as part of a Sake sampler at Japan in Epcot. Poured a clear color. Aromas of rice and a little floral. Tastes of the same with maybe some vanilla.

Taste @ Shibuya, Las Vegas: Pours a light beige color with a nice full body. The nose is dry but fragrant with a moderate alcohol note and a dry citrus rind note. The flavor has a sweeter impact but a full bodied masculine finish. Good but seems a little held back compared to some other ginjos.

Bottle... Looks like water to me. Sweet, grainy aroma. Full-bodied and lightly oily. Sweet, boozy flavor with a sweet finish.

Bottle. Walnut, rice malt and soy aroma with hint of flowers. Light yellow color. Initially buttery flavor with rice malt coming in next and finishing with an alcohol burn. Not too complex but smooth and pleasing.

The style really is Junmai Ginjo. Which is the second best style. This was about $30.00 a bottle. Light floral smell. A very smooth palate very fragrant and not too sweet and smooth. The alcohol is well hidden and sneaks up on you. I got this at Rangetsu in Orlando. It came in a red cornhusk wrapped packaged.
