200 ml can. fruity, mild, ginjo-ka aroma, sweet orange, minerals, alcohol burn. Ever so slight yellow tinge to a clear, slightly oily sake. Sweet, fruity flavor with big retronasal alcohol and a burn on the tongue, too. Canned peaches, a bit of rubbing alcohol. rather one-dimensional and boozy for sure. Sweetness balanced by heat-not my idea of complexity, but not bad tasting.

Can, courtesy of faroeviking. Funny can, looking just like a can of corn or mushrooms, where you pull the entire top of. Not very suitable for drinking or pouring. The sake has a clear body without any color, and without carbonation or head. Dry and fruity nose with some alcohol and yeast, papery and rice-like notes in the back. Alcohol-sweet flavor with some yeast up front, rice and paper in the background. Warming and dry. Except for the too obvious alcohol, it’s a quite nice drink. 090822

200 ml can from the Coop in Davis, CA. LIghtly chilled. Clear and clean appearance. Light aroma of coconut and hint of banana. Slightly sweet; definitely peppery. Warms on the way down. The taste is light. Sake with character. Highly recommended, as it has little or none of the \"paint thinner\" aspect I find in most clear sakes I’ve tried.
