Looks like water. When you drink it, you notice that it is completely different from water. Not the ususal basement sake either. I can recommend this one! Coconuts and fruity aroma. Mid bodied. Very flat and a balanced sweetness. Pleasant fruity, nutty and oily.

Taste: Apple, rice, fruity and yeast.
Overall impression: I did not fancy this one. The aroma was worse than the flavor. Nothing to recomend.

Bottle drunk 1/1/25.
Clear.
Sweet in the nose with some light mineral, maybe a touch of wax or alcohol-tinged character. Juicy fruits like coconut and soft lychee.
Same character in the mouth. Rich and round, rather unrefined but flavorful. Good with a meal. Thoughtless.

From my sake backlog. Bottle. Unclear, pale milky body without any head. Relatively strong in aroma, rice, marzipan and alcohol. Taste is soft and smooth with rice, alcohol and hint of coconut. Quite pleasant and really smooth.

Intense nose - rice, soy sauce, pine, wood. Yellow tinged water appearance. Sugar sweetness hits you immediately and last throughout with grainy rice light soy pine and mild alcohol burn coming in later. Woody flavor last long after swallowing. A very enjoyable drink - like it more than I would have thought.
