I'd agree - from what I've read (and the look of what's in the refrigerator), the Shaoxing is aged, which develops flavors and color (like many Sherry - just not fino).  Sake is not typically aged, hence why it is clear.  Also, I can't find any reliable info about Shaoxing's abv, but sake is quite high - about 15-20%.

 

I'll check the Shaoxing ABV tomorrow morning (technically this morning; it's about 10 minutes after midnight into Tuesday here). While I do have Shaoxing it has been decanted into a different container and I don't have the original bottle to check the label.
