Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Pours very light yellow water colour. Aroma of sweet and strong melon, hints of alcohol. Taste of medium sweet heavy melon, a bit dry, thick body, the alcohol is present.

Cheap little bottle at home. Pours syrupy yellowish. Nose is decent plum and berry. Tastes of mostly plum, some melon, honey, hint of rice and alcohol. Touch syrupy and sweet but not overly so. Fine little sipper glad my bottle is minuscule though prefer my umeshu in small doses

72cl bottle. Pours clear with a slight yellowish tinge, no head and aroma of rice, melon. Taste is similar, rice, melon with woody, earthy, grassy notes and boozy alcohol. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish. Quite OK.

Bottle, 72cl. Pours with a light yellowish color to an else clear body. Cellar, cooked rice and apples on the nose. Some boozy hints, even though it’s only 13,5% ABV. The flavor has a distinct fruityness to deal with the rice, and then the alcohol kicks in adding an extra dimension. Well, that might lead you to think this is a complex and superb sake, but I don’t feel it that way. Slighlty warming on the palate. A drinkable one indeed, but not worth a detour. 111105
