Jul 9, 2008 Clear pour with a yellow tinge. Mild fruit and alcohol aromas. Slightly sweet rice rice flavor with a very subtle fruit presence. Not bad.
Bottman (6), Wisconsin, USA
does not count  May 19, 2008 Appearance: Creamy off white translucent body.
Aroma: honeydew melon, passion fruit, and mango. Slightly metallic.
Taste: Tropical fruit with a lightly spiced finish. Some mineral and metallic components are off putting but generally a rather nice Sake for the price. Touches of Fuji apple.
Palate: Faintly dry. Medium bodied.
Overall a very good effort by the Oregon brewer.

Mar 7, 2008 Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 750 ml blue glass bottle. A shade darker than clear pour - slight glint to it - akin to a glass of white wine. Pleasant aroma, some floral accents and a hint of alcohol. Much more refined aroma than most sakes. Clean, fresh refined flavor. Sakes are always hard to describe for me. Some coconut accents, a bit of a pina colada thing going on. Very smooth and velvety. In the upper echelons of sakes that I have had - I know there are much better ones - but not quite willing to fork out $30 for a bottle just yet.

Feb 25, 2008 Yeasty, slight anise, with some alcohol in the aroma. Pours crystal clear. Yeast, some koji, alcohol notes, a little anise, some mint, sweet rice, in the flavor. Not bad.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle at the Yak and Yeti restaraunt in Disneys Animal Kingdom. Believe it or not...my first Sake. Pours a clear light yellow with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of lemon, very floral, sweet rice and vinegar. Flavor of green apples, rice, bready, sweet yet dry and floral.
