From my sake backlog. 750 ml bottle. Body is almost clear as water and a bit oily, no head. Aroma is alcohol, fusel and a faint scent of marzipan, feels sweet in aroma. Flavor is sweet and alcoholic with a hint of harsh bitterness. Behind the alcoholic flavor the body feels more soft and almost chewy in palate. Fruitier in aftertaste. A bit rough in style and not particular elegant in taste.

Flasche (Shirayuki Japanese Sake, 75 cl, datiert 2013.03) aus dem Pyongyang Shop. - Blaßgelb mit zartem Grünstich, klar. - Frischer Duft mit mild süßem Reis, milder säuerlicher Schärfe, Heu und ein wenig Alkohol. - Geschmack demgegenüber arg flach mit gekochtem Reis, etwas ruppiger Schärfe und deutlichem Alkohol. Stark fuseliger Abgang. - Zu schroff und alkoholisch, kein echter Genuß.

Sampled from a 1.8 liter bottle this sake poured a very pale yellow-clear. Mild tearing. The aroma is semi sweet rice, lemongrass and a hint of perfume. The flavor is semi-sweet rice, lemongrass, lemon and perfume. Medium rice and lemongrass finish. Smooth and the alcohol was well hidden. Solid.

Bottle, 75cl. A clear one, flat and quite oily. Slighlty alcoholic on the nose, with cooked rice and somethng earthy. That goes for the flavor too, to me it’s too rough. Cooked rice, earth, mold and a little citrusy touch. Lightly oily, warming and sort of smooth on the palate, with a warming finish. Not bad in any way, just too plain, rough and boring. 120124
