Drank at room temperature. The consistency of the liquid is clear and limpid. The olfactory intensity is normal and lasts sufficiently. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas is composed of vanilla, coconut and banana. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of medium strength’s sake. The body is round. The taste intensity is normal, and the persistence is sufficient. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are ready to drink. On the roof of the mouth end hints of cooked rice, vanilla, white peach and coconut.
