Sampled at Hopscotch 2023, pours a clear water colour. Aroma is full of intense black liquorice, root beer, and booze. Flavour is much the same, with tons of black liquorice, anise, etc. It’s alright if you like liquorice I guess.

Small pour, perhaps 375ml at The Greenbrier’s In-Fusion restaurant. Poured a mostly clear color, light off-translucent notes to it. Light rice wine notes, touch of light sweetness - touch of melon. It’s not overly sweet. It has a decent smooth character to it which is nice and easy to drink. Went well with dinner.

Bottled. Cold@about 6 C. Crystal clear waterlike looks. Aroma is floral, buttery, slightly alcohol and rice. Flavour is very smooth compared to other Sake’s I have had. Quite buttery and alcoholic, but at the same time some spicyness also. A really smooth, and mouthfilling palate.
Warmed up to about 40 C. Still the same looks, as for the flavour the alcohol becomes a bit more aggressive in the flavour. Otherwise quite much the same like when cold. Still pleasant and full.

Bottled. Colour is clear seethrough, no head. Aroma is quite fruity along with some hints of alcohol. Flavour is much more complex, rice, some slight caramel, fruits and some stinging alcohol. Very pleasant in my opinion.
