200 ml bottle-topped can from the Quickie Mart. Nose has ginjo-ka, spicy, fruity, apple, peach. Body is thin, flavor fruity but also a bit plasticy. Not bad, not special at all. Cheap-ass daigin. Worth it in a pinch, like this was.

Drank cold (recommended temperature). The nose tastes like fruit and banana. The olfactory intensity is high, and the olfactory persistence is appreciable. The consistency of the liquid is crystalline. The color is amber. The body is structured. The gustatory intensity is high, and the gustatory persistence is sufficient. The taste is light and pleasant. The finish is silky, dry and complex. The aftertaste is intense. The roof of the mouth brings sensations of vanilla, melon, fruit and banana.

Glass can/bottle thing at Hojoko, 2/1/16.
Hojoko has quite a selection of individual serve sakes by the can or jar. Haven’t seen that many available around in liquor stores and am not familiar with any of the brands they have on the menu. I don’t know if there is a particular stigma against canned/jarred sakes.
This one comes in a clear glass cylinder. Quite jar-like. Clear, with perhaps just a touch of chill haze.
Big vanilla, floral and light coconut notes greet the nose, with some earthy, almost nutty koji notes.
In the mouth, for having dry in the name, it’s decidedly less dry than expected, though perhaps a lot of that is a more savory, umami-like flavor and a very strong rice character. Touches of alcohol dryness, lots of vanilla, floral and coconut character and a pleasant earthiness/koji character on the finish. More enjoyable with warming, despite lightly sweet, sugary-vanilla characters being more prominent. A thoroughly rice-forward sake, but one with enough other subtle character.

Bottle at home. Pours pear colored. Nose is hooch and some juicy fruit gum. Tastes of pears, almonds, licorice, peat, and coconut milk. Touch harsh on the palate of rubbing alcohol. But enough going on to be satisfying.
