300 ml bottle. Icy clear. Light rice nose, a bit of citrus and spice. Sweetish, rich, spicy, with orange and alcohol burn. Ok, but not exciting.

720ml bottle. Nose is rice, light fruit, a bit of alcohol, peaches. Full rice flavor, some vanilla and rice candy, rather simple, light fruits: apricot and orange. Rather full body. A classic, no-nonsense junmai.
