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.
