150ml blue bottle. Clear with no head, sparkling. Aroma is like a weak, sweet wine. Taste is the same, weak bit with a nice sweetness to it. Light bodied.
My first Saké so not sure how this fares to a proper stronger one.

My first saké, so didn't really know what to expect. Picked it up from Sainsbury's on my way out on a 15 mile morning bimble. Drank it mid morning tramp style, crashed on a bench in the middle of a Chilterns village. With a Nutrigrain Elevenses cereal bar. It (the sake, not the cereal bar) was clear with just a hint of yellow. It tasted quite boozy for the 5% - would have guessed it was stronger than that. There's a touch of sparkling Chardonnay up front. Then it becomes sweet and fruity - rhubarb especially - with vanilla custard and a little boiled rice. It went down surprisingly well - I might be up for more sakes on walks if they weren’t so damnably expensive!
