I don't drink much Sake, but let's try to review it. Silvery/gold in color. The nose has golden raisins which is interesting since grape wines rarely have grape notes in it. On the palate, there are green apples and a non-sweet honey (if that is a thing). It has a semi-lush texture which is interesting. This was from a 750ml bottle that was screw capped. It kept getting better with air. Served at around 55F.

As the name says, this is a lightly cloudy Sake. Cloudy white in color, opaque, sort of like mixing lemonade and milk. Not much nose to speak of. On the palate, this is sort of like a milk candy. Very smooth. Some coconut on the finish. Not refreshing but enjoyable and certainly different.
100% Yamadanishiki rice grown in Hyogo Prefecture. Polished to 60%. Very pale, silvery-gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is light with a yeasty note with slight banana. On the palate, juicy fruit gum with slight minty note. Dry finish with umami and a slight bitter note. Very interesting and tasty. 300ML bottle.
Very interesting and different. 5.5% abv. Pale gold/silver/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has cucumbers, peach and orange cream soda. On the palate, more like orange creamsicle. Slightly sweet. Nice fizz. Lower acidity. Drinks like soda pop - easy. This is enjoyable and fun. 300ML.
Pale silvery/yellow in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is interesting with pineapple and slight mint. Very smooth. Slight malt note. On the palate, this is peppery with alcohol on the finish. Very easy to drink but some substance here, too. 300ml.
15% ABV. 60% polished (40% remaining). Green/gold in color, cloudy. The nose has lanolin and slight mint. Slightly viscous texture. Dry. There is a perception of alcohol but not really noticeable. A herbal note on the palate. Some warmth on the finish. This drinks easy and has depth.
