Drank at room temperature. The consistency of the liquid is clear. The color is straw yellow. The olfactory intensity is normal and lasts sufficiently. The taste on the nose - dominant aroma is of malted rice Koji. The taste on the nose - secondary aromas are directed towards vanilla, herbs, mushrooms, spring water and spices. The first impression of intensity in the mouth is of strong and vigorous sake. The body is full. The flavor intensity is high, and the persistence is good. The taste is pleasant. The final mouth sensations are of drinkable sake. In the mouth the aroma is that of vanilla, dried apricot, honey, spices and umami.

720 ml Bottle. Unpasteurized “nama” version. Very fruity, spicy, estery gonji-ka nose. Peaches, melon, mango, sweet orange. Fresh and fragrant. Oily, viscous, clear. Sweet and fruity, esters, spicy, pepper, alcohol heat. Full, silky body. Very nice. Great fruitiness, but a bit too sweet overall.

Sampled at Astor Wines. Stemmy wine glass. Clear pour.
Licorice & pear scent.
Taste is bland melon & plastic, a light bitterness, with a bit of a vodka aftertaste.
Airy & very light bodied. Quite mellow, but not sincerely enjoyable.
