Not water-colored like many of the sakes I’ve had; a bit off-yellow. Distinctly sweet aroma of anise and exotic fruit, with more common fruits in the flavor, especially the melons. Tart yet sweet. Restrained alcohol. I didn’t particularly enjoy this, actually. I had this on the patio at W.A. Frost’s, St. Paul, MN.

Pewter yellow clear with some legs. The aroma is of melon and grape, white chocolate. The flavor is much the same, a bit dry, with a slightly sea like quality. Overall, quite nice.

Slightly yellow stained clear and still liquid. Floral and ricey nose, with rubbing alcohol accented stepped on fruit, raspberries, maybe even pineapple. Wow, smooth ghost-like cashmere mouthfeel leaving memories of soft, delicate fruits..Peaches & cream, a little funk, and a nice sweetness riding along. This is stellar drinking right here.

(Bottle, courtesy of BMan1113VR and ilovedarkbeer) Pours a clear body with a light yellowish hue and excellent legs. Aroma of almonds, peaches, wood, dried strawberries, and pineapple. Flavor of alcohol, almond, and fruity with a dry wood finish.

Pours almost completely clear with a faint yellow glow. Legs like glue. Nose is licorice, weed, blueberries, white peaches. Great mouthfeel like buttered water if that makes sense. (Water and silk maybe) Taste is the same as the nose with a nice fruity warming taste on the back end. Very good just layers of flavor that keep you coming back.
