Small bottle drunk 8/4/17.
Clear, lucid, with some transluscency to it. Perhaps a slight enamel tint.
Soft, mellow, well-aged and mildly fruity with low tanginess, no coconut or melon and even very low nuttiness. Bright mandarin and passion fruit mix with soft vanilla and ultra-mild, slightly tapioca-like rice. Very aromatic, clean and with no sign of alcohol.
In the mouth it's juicy, bright, mild and clean with low nuttiness, bright fruit (citrus, passion fruit) and tons of interesting koji character, though I wouldn't go as far as to call this one funky. Very refined, elegant, light but yet packed with juicy, quenching flavors amidst a supple but drinkable texture. It had been so long since I thought about this sake (which was the holy grail of sakes back in the day) that it didn't even register when I ordered it. I was pretty blown away by this stuff and now it makes a lot of sense.
