From my sake backlog. On tap and bottled (rating is a compartment of several tastings) . Clear, very pale-yellow body with no head and sparkling carbonation. Aroma is quite distinct Sake with rice, yeast and mild fruit like apple and some citric. Flavor is refreshing citric fruity, hint of grapes, mild rice and yeast. Medium body and average aftertaste. This is a light and refreshing sake that’s probably a nice start for somebody that not familiar with the style. The aroma is quite distinct sake, but the flavor feels a bit like a refreshing white wine. But compared with a white wine side by side there is a big difference, then the Sake flavor becomes more distinct with less fruitiness and more rice/yest flavor. The balance between sweet and light acidity works well and the touch of alcohol feels just right. Delicate and nice.

Sampled during RB Raid over Rotterdam March 3rd 2018. Clear watery appearance, no head. Aroma is hard to describe: grainy and sweet at the same time. Flavor is sort of the same: a bit grainy, sweetish. Hard to describe better. I find it to be ok.

Sampled from tap at ACBF 2017. Clear, very pale greenish yellow. Sweetish, slightly fruity and a bit floral aroma of white wine, white wine vinegar and some gooseberry. Moderately sweet, slightly sourish, a bit fruity taste of white wine, white wine vinegar, oak and gooseberry, followed by a short, minimally tart, a bit dry finish. Medium body, slightly oily and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!

Bottle. A clear pale yellowish drink, still. The aroma has lots of pears, with some grassy hints, some rice and cucumber. Sort of funky. It’s lightly warming on the palate, smooth and oily with a soft carbonation. Pears, some rice and cucumber and a funky touch in the flavor. Some fatty hints and a faint peach like touch. Lasting fruity finish. Easy drinkable and pretty pleasant. 160213
