This is my first drink!
It smells like watermelon!
There was watermelon. ⁉️
Well balanced flavor and acidity,
It may have the taste of white wine!
But when the temperature gets higher, it turns into sake.
The taste with a little bit of a tangy flavor is really delicious.
I found another delicious sake!
It has a mellow rice flavor as if it were fresh, as well as a light acidity and crispness like that of white grapes.
I liked it better after taking it out of the refrigerator and letting it sit for a little while, as it broadened the flavor.
I was told that it is produced in small quantities, but if I see it again, I would like to repeat the experience.

The aroma is modest, but umami aroma.
The bottom of the bottle has aromas of pears and apples, but they are not that strong.
The taste is also umami. There is a sense of pickling.
It has a strong lactic acidity.
It can be balanced with strong flavors.

The aroma is the most fruity of the three.
It has a certain amount of umami and is very Niigata-like.
The sugar content is low and the aftertaste is clean.
Good as a food sake.

Sasashu drinking comparison.
It seems that the Sasa series is all unfiltered sake.
This one is a different kind of sake made from unshaved Koshihikari (rice). But I like it a lot because of its beautiful acidity.
