Costa is probably the best!
Cheap but good!
Even though it is fire-roasted, it is sweeter and better the next day or the day after that!
The aroma is also good!
Why is it so good? 🤔

Reihou is a rice variety from Fukuoka, but Nagasaki is a major production area. As the brand name "Fukkai" suggests, this bottle evokes images of sea breezes and the ocean. It is an excellent match with seafood, especially with sashimi, white fish, and Hirado's local cuisine, but it is also well-balanced and quite drinkable on its own.
By the way, it is treated as dessert today (laugh).
Repeat Score] 2.0
Refreshing lactic acid bacteria aroma. The taste is refreshing and full of Kyoho grapes. The aftertaste is also refreshing and easy to drink with a strong sweetness.
It was brewed to evoke the fog that forms on the ocean from summer to fall and the feeling of bubbles that pop.
It has a full flavor typical of Yamadanishiki, but the aftertaste is crisp and refreshing, with a gasiness that cuts through the finish.
