One of my missing 4 style rates (all Sake).
Translucent almost white pour, just a tinge of faded to fuck green going on, no head.
Nose is herb, honey, melon, straw, light booze.
Taste comprises grains, sugars, perfume, melon, honey, booze, rice cake.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, big drying close with a cloak of alcohol.
Not bad.
