Very nice, cold, filtered sake. Fresh, crisp with aromas of melon and graphite.

Very smooth, clean finish, slightly sweet. Affordable (approx $9/300ml on sale). Would be a good weekday sake.

Pear, sweet ish, clean, not as far as refreshing, but light. Lovely.

This was like the Manischewitz version of a Sake. It's as smooth as can be, but the sugar is extremely overpowering. I'm getting very strong pear notes in the bite and aftertaste (or at least where the bite should be! It has zero bite!). Overall, I would buy it again, but this is clearly a dessert Sake. This would ruin the food you were eating unless it was a cucumber salmon sushi roll, dressed in mango or a light sweet ginger salad. I'll give it an 7.8
