Smell: Sweet, coconut, and bubblegum. (I looked at their description, read bubblegum, and sniffed again and realized it is there. never expected to find that)
Color: A little more yellow than other nigori sakès. Cloudy of course.
Taste: My first thought was pina colada. It's sweeter than the other sakès I've had from them. There some of that bubblegum like flavor again. There's another flavor there I can't identify. It has an anise and citrus finish.
I like this a lot but it is rather sweet which makes me think of it as more of a dessert "wine." I'm sure it would go well with spicy dishes as well as suggested.

Strawberry and cherry with maybe a little bacon. Pleasent tannins and slightly sweet. Light body. I like this and certainly worth the price I paid (less than $10).

I really enjoyed this. Cherry notes, spicy. Medium body. Certainly good for the $10 I payed for it.
