Tried at local Chinese restaurant. Colorless. Somewhat heated, is that what's supposed to happen? Sweetish, whiskey, vanilla aroma. Interesting! Flavor is rice, somewhat alcoholic, softly sweetish and a bit dusty. But solid. Good one.

300ml bottle with an extremely unhelpful label; front just has the logo and slogan "The Superior Japanese Sake" and back label is in Dutch presumably added by the importer which just calls it "Traditional Sake"; ABV is 14.5% but polishing rate and other info not given.
Clear with a light yellow-ish tint. Aroma is floral, melon, rice. Taste is the same, floral, melon, rice, pear/apple notes. Warming booze, light sweetness into a drying finish.
