720 ml bottle. Nice red-pinkish in colour, fruity pears and melon in the nose. The Saké starts fruity with a nice soft texture. Rich and sweetish, grainy rice and warming alcohol. Lots of fruit, red fruits and blossoms over full-bodied and slightly sweetish grainy rice. Full and sweetish grainy in the aftertaste, lots of fruits and hints of alcohol on the tongue. Interesting.

Little bottle grabbed from Whole Foods. Cloudy alka seltzer pour but not bad looking. Nose is coconut light melon. Tastes of thick rice water, coconut, fruity. Chewy mouthfeel. Little alcohol some sugary residue on tongue. Glad to see some recent rates rate on sake raters
