Astor Wines sells this as: Kinoene Umakara Migaki 8 Wari Junmai
Anyway, mom & I were around town & stopped in while they were doing tastings of sake & 15yr old Macallan...
Glassy pour.
Rice pudding & mellow vodka nose.
Lemon water, light cream, faint melon.
Very filtered, delicate.
Lots of the tasters loved this one for how vapid it was.

Bottle at Fins Beacon Hill, 10/21/22.
Lime green-tinted, hazy.
Lime, for sure, but not acidic, nor twangy/punchy.
It's sweet, fruity, limey, definitely an abomination but pretty decent with a meal. The shandy of sakes.

Bottle at home orange label. Slight coloration and nose is grainy rice and faint fruits. Tastes pretty good of almond, melon, coconut husk, slight pepper. Grainy due to polish rate but smooth enough. Decent body and tasty. A real bargain priced sake worth a try.
