May 23, 2007 180 ml bottle reads 15% abv. Clean yeasty sake aroma. Pours almost clear with little chunks. Wow, intense flavor, tingles the tongue with a hint at carbonation. Sweet and tangy, sharp right off the bat. The aftertaste has some anise notes. Amazing. Very delightful!

Dec 31, 2007 This one looks very unique, which really begs one to consume it. The still body is a lightly hazy grayish tint, with tons of very fine floating particulate suspended throughout the liquid. Fairly thick legs coat the glass well on a swirl, indicating a substantial body. Like the appearance, the aroma is fairly unique. Notes of koji, rice pudding, and freshly sliced plums meet a solitary drop of lemon, combining to make a very inviting scent profile. The flavor is simultaneously sweet, sharp and tangy. Koji dominates, but fruity notes and a lemony creaminess play major roles as well. As the look hints, the body is on the fuller side, with a unique tingle showing some carbonation that I didn’t expect. Very solid, unique Nigori.

Feb 13, 2008 Hazed yellowish milky liquid. No sparkle, so ’m a bit leery. Strong sweet rice aromas with just a touch of birch sap in the background. LIght vanilla and white jelly bean flavors. A touch of burn in the finish but otherwise the alcohol is quite minimal. Quite smooth and a relaxing type sake. I would enjoy this after a nice dinner.

Apr 20, 2008 72 cl. Bottle [Thanks to Storm] this was my first sake, and what a great experience. Quit different than anything else that I have tried. Very watery pale yellow looking, but with somewhat of a glow. Aroma was quite difficult to describe, but what I picked up was menthol, liquorish, vegetable. Over the palate came alcohol, vegetable, strange floral feel, some flower. Full bodied with an alcoholic texture.
Alcoholic flower like finish. My first Sake was a very interesting experience. Would have liked it with Sushi.
