Can (black) at Hojoko, 2/1/16.
As far as I can tell, they have the regular nama (yellow), aged 1 year (red), freshly harvested rice (green) and this, containing single distilled sochu (black).
Clear, light pearl-tinted liquid.
Big melon, blackberry and light pina colada in the nose, it smells like a nigori, almost, though with less coconut and pineapple than those usually have. The fruitiness, mixing with the alcohol is interesting, at least and it doesn’t smell fusel-like.
The flavor is quite sweet, immediately, with a light berry-like acidity that I haven’t found in many sakes. Alcohol adds dryness and a good deal of heat, while strong koji notes and light coconut sit on the end. Quite interesting and fairly drinkable, but just too sweet for my tastes.

Can at home. I bought this a couple months ago but got drunk and left it behind on my travels. Lost hope we would be reunited but my travels brought me back and I found my can in a friends fridge awaiting my return. Pours yellowish amd you cam smell the booze as soon as u pop the top. Also some pineapple and marijuana on nose. Tastes of pineapple, cocounut, cedar, rubbing alcohol, rice, and weed. Harsh unpolished palate amd boozy warming. Tastes as expected with packaging.
