Feb 24, 2008 Sample from a Sake Flight at Fuji Jade Garden, State College, PA. Aroma has an edge of bamboo, water chesnuts and light sulfur. Pours a distinctly yellow-tinged clear. Flavor carries a stronger, more distinct flavor. I’m not sure how I feel about it. Yeast profile is up, with plant and mineral distinction. Gourd rind. Stays smooth, but the character in this beer isn’t particularly desirable.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle from Kingdom Liqour, FL. Served cold. Poured clear color with good legs. Light rice alcohol aroma. Light to medium body with a dry texture. Light green apple sweet flavor with a light sweet alcohol finish that was of short duration. Soft drinkable sake.

May 25, 2007 10 ounce bottle purchased from the Davis Food Co-Op. This is my first Nama Sake. Chlorine-coconut rice like aroma. Some mildly ethanolic notes are definitely present as well. Smells like pool water, not pool toys. Seriously, this looks like water. Nothing more, nothing less. Hydrogen hydroxide. Hey now, this has a sweet, sugary flavor to start. This is sweeter than any of the other sake’s I’ve had. This sweetness gives way to a dry, very medicinal flavor. The aftertaste on this is not unlike Robitussin. For a sake, this is somewhat reasonable, but it is not something that I’d ever buy again. Yes, I am a ratings whore.

May 25, 2007 Clear syrupy body. Sweet vanilla and rice aroma. Sweet syrupy vanilla flavor with some light fruit and a nearly creamy mouthfeel.

Mar 4, 2007 The aroma has rice, vanilla, wood, alcohol, fruit, and milk chocolate. The appearance is clear-yellow and very still. The flavor is earthy with all the elements from the aroma. The palate is thin like most sake but is also lightly oily. The finish is warm with alcohol and dry. Overall I like this one because it’s sweet up front but dry in the end. It also has complex elements that are all very subtle. It is just as good cold as it is hot.
