But it has a strong rice flavor, not just spicy, and since it's raw, it's fresh 😆.
It goes well with strong flavored dishes. ☝️
It's delicious 😆.
The gentle mouthfeel is matched by a refreshing sweetness, making this sake refreshing and spring-like.
Accompanied by dried Hakata Jitori (dried chicken) overnight.
