I honestly cannot recall the last time I drank Sake.  I do remember reading about it in one of my wine courses so when I saw this bottle at my local Costco I figured WTH.  It starts out clear, as can be expected with a watery sheen showing off a low viscosity (12% ABV).  The nose is interesting- I get some herbal notes, vegetal aromas, yellow pear and a bit of perfume like incense.  The palate is dry with some tongue twisting component- acid?  If so, it’s a different feel from wine.  Very smooth- this drink delivers pear, vegetal and floral flavors with virtually no heat on the back end that is medium in length.  I’m searing some Ahi tuna so this is the natural pairing.  Serve chilled and drink on release.  I paid $15, a great price to introduce yourself to this lighter style of Sake.  Salut….
