Bottle: Poured a clear color. The aroma was very alcohol and thinner. The taste is watery with a warm medicine and alcohol burn.

0.75l bottle. Produced by Choya Umeshu Deutschland in Willich. I spotted this almost by accident in the big Merkur store near the Graz bus station, and ozujsko got it (thanks!). My second sake, and I’m not completely sure I still fully understand the subleties of this type of beverage. Completely clear and still, like water. Nose... interesting. Medicinal, a bit overly so, nice notes of rice crackers and some nougat. The taste is sweeter than the last I had. Watery of course, some weak lemon and some medicine. Not bad, but didn’t impress me. Wish I could’ve done a side by side comparison with Mitoku. The medicinal "quality" apparently gets a lot more pronounced when warm, but I didn’t try it that way, and it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. I might be underrating it too.
