SakeOne Moonstone Raspberry Sake

[beige_alert]

I bought a bottle of SakéOne Moonstone Raspberry Saké yesterday. Packaged in a pretty blue bottle, it has a pale yellow color, a faint scent that I can’t describe, and a very subtle flavor. They describe it as raspberry, but any berry flavor, indeed, any flavor at all, is very subtle. There is a very slight sourness, a faint sweetness, and overall a very mild saké flavor. I’d never guess from the mild taste that it is 13.5% ethanol—though now two-thirds through a glass it is clear to me that the label is true.
