Little 180ml bottle from the Japan Centre, London. Chilled. It's got a slight yellowish/greenish hue. Strong rice aroma, grassy notes, booze, a touch of vanilla. Initial sweetness is overcome by an almost sour booziness, soured citrus, leading to a lightly drying finish. Astringent aftertaste with more rice flavours. Hard to get into this one but it's reasonably good I suppose.

180ml bottle as part of a delivery from the Japan Centre, London, and drunk at home. Boozy aroma, sharp wet grass and melon, lighter mint and white pepper. Rice is forefront in the taste, a good bit of spicy alcohol astringency. Some bitter herbs right at the finish. Fairly decent sake.

180ml bottle as part of a delivery from Japan Centre and drunk at home. Pretty clear - maybe a touch of yellowishness. Watery rice in the aroma, light orchard fruit. Sweet taste with alcohol to the fore, a bit of watermelon. Short finish., a little rough. Body is light. Some balance issues, but this is a decent sake.

180ml bottle bought from Japan Centre, London as part of a delivery and drunk at home. I've chilled it which may not have been the best choice. Clear as water. The scent is medicinal with light fruited character, malted grains.Taste is a bit harsh and boozy at first but when it warms up slightly it gets a bit of white grape, berry, liquorice.al Astringent bitterness on the long finish. Watery body. Not the best sake you're likely to have but certainly enjoyable.

Bottle on the train from New Street to Burton, thanks to Martin, 17/02/23. 3rd last style on RB for me ... all Sake (not that I've made any effort ever for these).
Clear water looky affair.
Nose is honey, sugars, grains, herb.
Taste comprises milky vibes, honey, sugars, grains, herbal, corn.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of raw alcohol.
Fine as it goes for a Sake (from Sarky).
