One cup can drunk 4/7/24.
Clear.
Nose is super soft, lightly sweet with some light floral qualities. Mineral and a dearth of acidity yet fortunately no alcohol or raw/sharp notes whatsoever.
In the mouth it's decidedly sweet, soft, lighter in body though not thin. Again, there is a complete lack of sharp or alcoholic flavors, which is a plus, of course. Yet there is a significant lack of acidity here which really brings down the overall picture, as it leaves the sake soft and sweet and somewhat unbalanced and insipid.
