Small bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie Oct 2019. Thanks blackhaddock for this gem. Pours a reddish amber. Super sweet plums in aroma and to taste. I can't say sake features high on my drinking schedule so its hard to comment exactly on its good features but it does seem exceptionally sweet. Not for me but interesting to try it.

100ml bottle from the Whisky Exchange. Clear, very pale yellow colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of rice, mushroomy, rubber, booze. Taste is sweetish, rice, melon, earthy, and warming, grassy, alcohol. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, warm boozy finish. Quite drinkable.

On 23rd Jan 2020 I decided to change all my 34 'ticks' for no-beers into rates. Every 'tick' scored a '3', this will not change as they become 'rates'. My 'ticks' were Ciders, Meads, Perrys and Sake. This is a Sake!

Bottle from \"The Whisky Exchange\". Grainy sweetish nose. The Saké starts grainy and neutral, smooth, slightly alcoholic, with a grainy and slightly sweetish body. The grain is heavy, no fragile aroma so far. Grainy and slightly neutral aftertaste. Not a good one...
