Commercial Description:
This is a new addition to the Marumoto brewery's repertoire, a delightfully unusual and memorable semi-sparkling junmaishu. It has been brewed using no additional ingredients beyond water and a delicious, slightly sweet sake rice. Fizzing when opened with natural carbon, this is a sake comparable to fine champagne, although rather than shaking it, the bottle should be gently upended before opening. Its taste will come as a very pleasant surprise to the drinker and is very light, with only 8% alcohol by volume.

Bottle thanks to bman1113vr. Pours a cloudy white with white fizzy head, and excuse me for saying this, but "pretty". Aroma of tropical fruit, banana, taffy. Flavor is very much the same. Mouthfeel is medium body with low-medium fizzy carbonation. Overall, very nice!!!!

Crushed with carythedude and jakebra randomly at some place. Very sweet, almost sickeningly so. Not so interesting. I guess it was light for 8% though.

Crushed with Jakebra and Honkeybra by chance. A sparkling sake? Interesting. Almost like drinking club soda with alcohol and sugar.
