Sampled from 0.3 l bottle from a local Asian food shop. Clear, no colour. Sweetish, spicy and slightly fruity aroma of rice, green apples, some gooseberry and a touch of vanilla. Moderately sweet, spicy and slightly fruity taste of rice, vanilla, gooseberry and green apples, followed by a medium long, moderately peppery, spicy and a bit boozy finish. Medium body, oily mouthfeel, flat. Quite nice actually, very soft, drinks relatively easy.

Opened 300 ml green screwcap bottle, from a trade with Cunningham. ABV is 15%. Clear and extremely pale yellow colour, no carbonation. Strong aroma of burnt rubber, awful. Alcoholic flavour with hints of rice. Another evidence that sake is not my cup of tea.
