A drier sake, with a fruity orange like aroma. Not as vibrant, rich and complex as Id like but still clean.

This bottle sake from Indianapolis, IN poured from a beautiful crystal blue bottle. The body was clear with a yellow hue and fully diminished bubbles except for a few medium sized air pockets on top. It has a nice polished rice aroma. The mouth feel had a slight buttery note to its vinous alcohol burn in the aftertaste. The flavor was of vinous polished rice with a smooth alcohol note.

300ml. Pours a light bright gold with decent drippy legs. Faint tropical fruit, melon mustiness, a touch of rice and some alcohol on the nose. Light mouthfeel with a pleasant coconut oiliness. Melon, rice, butter with a lingering oily alcohol hotness on the finish.

Bottle chilled from Sam’s Chicago. Poured clear color with legs. Moderate coconut, melon and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a medium smooth dry texture. Moderate sweet melon flavor with a light sweet alcohol burn finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Alcohol in the nose. Clear and beige. Sweetish, but not what I would call sweet. Similar whiskey taste. It’s burn is apparent only in the aftertaste. Very light. Not grainy. Hate the mouthfeel. Good ginjo.
