Bottle. There’s some color in this one, but it ain’t much. Flat. Alcoholic, papery nose with some lemon notes. Some air helps, but it’s still not the most pleasant sake I’ve had. The flavor is pretty much the same, too alcoholic. Medium to thin mouthfeel, slightly papery. Lemon, some milk and rice in the end. As mentioned, too alcoholic. 100814

Bottle. There’s some color in this one, but just a hint. It pours oily and flat. Way too alcoholic on the nose, fruity and ricey, but not very pleasant. The flavor is a bit raw, very alcoholic, with a nice rice flavor. Some papery notes too. Medium body, warming. Lasting finish which is too warming. Overall, too warming, else quite decent. 100813
