Bottman (6), Wisconsin, USA does not count May 19, 2008 Appearance: clear, light/pale yellow body.
Aroma: boozy and sharp with a dirty grain smell.
Taste: Lacking in depth and dominated by sugary booze flavors. Touches of coconut.
Palate: Sharp! Burning, boozy.
Drinkability: low.
This is not a pleasurable sake even at its low price. One dimensional, and it’s a bad dimension at that.
jjpm74 (3086), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Jan 29, 2006 Pours clear and oily like vodka. Smells and tastes of steamed rice. Finish of alcohol burn. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 22, 2006 Sampled at the Milwaukee YEHa!05 courtesy of hezron: Pours with a still, very clear, almost water-like appearance with good viscosity. Sweet complex, floral ricey aroma has some alcoholic notes. Body has a light floral flavor with a touch of sugary sweetness and vanilla with a warming alcoholic finish. A decent sake. DavidP (1712), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 7, 2006 Nate! Perfectly clear body, thick body. Oak sap, green beans, alcohol in the aroma. Thinned-out mouthfeel. Alcohol, light blackberry and clean powdered sugar. Some wood and alcohol in the finish. Might be better w/ some food. hezron (594), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Dec 20, 2005 Aromas of white chocolate, vanilla and a hint of wood. Very soft and nice. Clear in color with nice legs that seemed really thick. Sharp flavor with lots of alcohol and then a sweet coconut flavor with a vanilla, nutty, warming finish. Fuller bodied and creamy going down.
