Delicate aromas of honey and pear give way to layered notes of toasted grain and cashew, finishing clean with the mineral clarity of Mount Rokkō spring water. Its balance and purity make Tanrei equally enjoyable chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed. Serving Temperature: Enjoy Warm or Chilled. Polishing ratio (seimaibuai): 70%. Yeast: Hakutsuru Proprietary Yeast. Bottle size: 180ml.

Little bottle. Looks like water. Aroma of sweet sticky rice, hints of melon and overt alcohol. Sweet but with little presence. Stale nuts, some tinned pineapple. Less boozy than suggested by the aroma. Didn't see much charm in this one at all.

Bottle at Craigs. Clear, spirit-looking thing. Much more standard sake deal here. Rice wine, what more can I say?

Bottled (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Very pale yellow colour, no head. Aroma is citrus, some mild rice wine and a bit dusty and strange sweet notes to it. Flavour is quite interesting, as it has a big palate and mouthfilling feeling to it even when sipping, but there is no real flavour behind the feeling. The aftertaste then again gets a bit earthy, some boiled rice, a bit alcohol and quite strong on the floral notes. As it does warm up a bit, it does get almost a slight vanillaish kick to it.
