From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Milky white body with rice floaters. Mild aroma of rice, flowers and a hint of marzipan and herbs. Flavor is smooth rice, yeast fruitiness and a very nice kind of fruity acidity. Tastes smoother than it looks. Both smooth and a bit raw at the same time. I especially appreciated the acidity in the aftertaste.

Sample at SBWF 2012, Master Class with Kjetil Jikiun. Hazy milk white with no head. Yeast and rice, also notes of alcohol. Also some weak notes of fruit. Light mouth feel.

Bottle. It doesn’t look very nice, with it’s yellowish milky body with lots of chunks. Fortunately the aroma and flavor are much better. There’s a hint of cellar in the aroma, as well as fruit-schnaps and some rice. Not much rice aroma or flavor, both are more on the fruity side and with the alcohol sure playing a significant role. It’s full-bodied, warming, chunky and quite dry on the palate, some co2 too. Dry finish. A quite nice and tasteful one, but it looks bad. 100611

Bottles with sediment, courtesy of the brewery. ABV was 17%. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Cloudy very pale milk coloured sake, with white rice floaties in the glass. The bottles were difficult to open due to carbonation / gushing. Yeasty, fruity and alcoholic aroma, also notes of marzipan. The flavour is fresh, fruity and quite nice. Warming mouthfeel.
