Drank at room temperature. The color is slightly yellowish. The olfactory intensity is high and lasts considerably. The taste on the nose recognizes impressions of dried apricot, melon, cognac, blackberries, almonds and white mushrooms. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of robust sake. The body is structured. The taste intensity is high, and the taste persistence is good and long. The taste is very pleasant. The final mouth sensations are of drinkable sake. The aroma in the mouth bears signs of melon, anise, pepper, white flowers, kiwi and umami for a strong taste.

Bevuto a temperatura ambiente. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Il gusto al naso - aroma dominante è di riso maltato Koji e di banana. Il gusto al naso - aromi secondari è di melone. La prima impressione di intensità in bocca è di sake potente. Il corpo è pieno. Al gusto vengono donate note di frutta, vaniglia, pesca e fragola.

720ml bottle. Nice fresh rice nose. Smooth mild, fresh. Complete clear in the glass. The Saké starts fresh with lots of rice. A bit rough with a moderate ricey sweetness. Dry-sweetish aftertaste, rice with hints of rough alcohol. Nice.

180 ml bottle. Light, fruity aroma, very clean, ripe pears.
Slightly dull, rounded, languid mouth feel. Fruity, rather sweet flavor, rather creamy / lactic. Decent but not very special. Lacks spunk.
