720mL bottle shared by the Farthest Star brewer on 5/19/23.
Clear, white.
Nose is chock full of bubble gum. Tons of it. Some light mineral and light acidity besides. Clean.
Very light, austere, don't get too much acidity or any overt lacto. Do get lots of bubble gum. Lighter bodied, some salinity and mild sweetness.

Süßlicher Geruch von Reis und Ananas. Weicher Antrunk, in dem ebenfalls Reis und Ananas präsent sind, geringe Süße. Erfrischend, hintergründig nur selten alkoholisch. Vollmundiger Hintergrund, insgesamt aber oft wässrig wirkend. Etwas Honig. 8/8/9/8//8

My last sake of the night so went with premium goodness. The pours looks like just like fresh spring water. Nose of melons and light rice. Extremely clean palate like drinking from fresh mountain spring. U also get honeydew, floral, grass, and rice. No alcohol presence, wonderful

720ml bottle. Clear with a yellow tint, slightly thick and oily looking. Fresh, fruity aroma with peaches, banana, and melon. Sweet, fruity flavor with rice, peach, melon, cinnamon, ash, and pepper. Rich and thick without being too heavy, though it is not at all light. Lots of grain character. Alcohol well noticeable. A bit of funkiness is in there too, possibly relating to the yamahai process. Tasty, spicy stuff.
