Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear colourless with very faint yellow tinge, no head and aroma of rice, melon, liquorice. Taste is sweetish, rice, fruity, melon, caramel note, with some mellow alcohol. Oily, medium bodied, low carbonation, lingering booze at the finish. Quite drinkable.

Drunk at room temperature (one of the recommended temperatures). The appearance of the liquid is clear, colorless and transparent. The olfactory intensity is high, and the olfactory persistence is appreciable. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas gives impressions of melon, fruity and dry. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of robust sake for a soft and rich taste. The body is round. The taste intensity is normal, and the taste persistence is sufficient. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are ready to drink. The taste is assigned tones of anise, pine, vanilla, melon, dried apricot, green apple and pepper.
