11/5/2022. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed. Region #391, Japanese region 21/47. Pours clear colourless with no head. Aroma starts sweet, with a big initial hit of dolly mixtures. Quickly moved on to aniseed, before mellowing. Keeps some candy sweetness, with fruity honeydew melon, and a light boozy edge. Fairly sweet, but with a nicely balance bitterness. Moderate body, oily, no carbonation. Developed well, enjoyed it.

My first sake, not really sure what to expect. Sweet and fruity on the nose, with a whiff of spirit. From a taste perspective there's a touch of alcohol burn to begin with then it smooths out to reveal a mellow, sweet fruity flavour with a touch of bitterness in the finish, the mouthfeel having a very slightly viscous, oily feel to it.
