Bottle that my lovely wife bought me. Clear, near colourless with just a hint of bronzing. Some white wine acidity up front before creamy vanilla comes through, some citrus hints, porridge, almond, booze, rice pudding and a spicy finish. Intriguing and enjoyable. I liked this.

From my sake backlog. Bottle, served hot @ Niso Sushi in Sønderborg. Clear with no head. Mild herbal aroma with tea, some fruit and mild rice, some warming alcohol. Smooth and balanced flavor, herbal tea, fruits, rice and alcohol. Balanced body, nice aftertaste with fruit, yeast and alcohol. Nice, pretty straight forward, no off flavors, all in all pretty nice.

Sampled from 0.18 l bottle from 'Shochiku', bottled in June 2016. Clear like water. Sweetish, slightly spicy and a little fruity aroma of green apples, gooseberry and some alcohol. Quite sweet, slightly spicy and a bit fruity taste of green apples, soy milk, rice and alcohol, followed by a long, boozy and slightly spicy finish. Medium body, flat. Quite drinkable, but I'm not into Sake at all.
