Labeled as "Trader Joe-san’s Selected Sake from Japan Junmai Gingo". Drank at 55*F. Pours clear and hued like water. Legs are minimal. Aroma is a bit earthy, with pear and peach notes, cotton candi, koji, banana and fusel alcohol. Overall sweet. Taste is sweet with koji, a bit nutty. Hints of vanilla and fruit. Alcohol is reigned in MUCH better than I expected for something of this price and quality. A bit of marzipan on the finish. Clean. A bit thing on the mouth. Light and refreshing. Well hidden alcohol, good balance and really, a very good cheap sake.

Blue bottle from TJ’s. Clear in color. Somewhat sweet candyish aroma. Some alcohol. Slightly sweet in flavor with some graininess. A bit of alcohol is noticeable. Pretty easy to drink though.

Drank cold. Poured as clear as water with no head. The aroma has a mild sweetness with notes of earthy pear. The aroma is very clean with just a touch of sweet fruit but overall dry. It is warming but smooth with no real alcohol taste. Upon warming the fruit came out more. Also some light rice notes in the aroma and flavor.

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.

750 ml bottle from TJ’s Downer’s Grove. Well, I’m not going to be shy about new ways to be drinkin’! Into my FoBAB sampler glass it goes. So… clear as vodka, but without the light distortion of alcohol swirling around. Don’t know how this is supposed to smell, but this is very nice. Light plum and a bit floral barely masks a nose of alcohol. First sip is hard to even feel in your mouth, it instantly assumes body temperature. The more… I’ll call it chrysanthemum, but to me it’s just a light flowery taste. Again a touch of fruit, But each sip manages to start out nearly insubstantial before infusing my mouth with its delicate flavor… and leaving an bit of alcohol burn in its wake. This is fascinating stuff. C’mon, RBans; give sake a try, How can something from Trader Joe’s only have 6 ratings!?

Clear of color from the 750 ml botte. Very alcohol in flavor with some rice undertones. Aromas were almost the same. Not bad.

I don’t know sake... Blue 750mL. color of clear and a little not. Aroma of pears and alcohol. tastes like a vodka and Gewürztraminer. Really strange alcohol rings on the glass. Slightly sweet finish. I kinda like it.
