| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 11, 2009 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. Syd (895), Waconia, Minnesota, USA

The flavor is much the same, a bit dry, with a slightly sea like quality. Overall, quite nice. WeeHeavySD (2963), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 30, 2009 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. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 16, 2008 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.
