A small bottle, random pick up from Mia C’Bon near NCCU. Aroma: very yeasty with a hit of old sock. Appearance: semi-opaque light amber, negligible head. Palate: light-bodied and tingly on the tongue, lively carbonation despite the flat appearance; rather chewy mouth feel at the finish. Taste: pretty heavily sweet, with plenty of almond. The label says ‘Flavor of Sake Brewery’ but there is nothing sake-like about this beer whatsoever. It’s drinkable, but the flat appearance and fizzy carbo. detract.

At the January 2026 DC Brewver gathering. Thanks BeastieFan2k. Poured a nearly clear color. It has that kind of light haze you might find in a spirit. Very light vanilla, some juniper. Pleasant very light vanilla. Delicate. Not sure if I'm really into sake. It was smooth and drinkable.

From my sake backlog. Bottle @ Niso Sushi in Sønderborg. Clear with no head, slightly oily body. Quite mild in aroma, mild rise, fruity in general and also a bit floral. Not much yeast and alcohol are well hidden. Flavor is smooth and mild, just hint of rice, some fruit and slightly warming aftertaste. Medium to thin bodied. Nice and easy, not very complex, should not offend anyone. Goes particular well with the pickled ginger.
