The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Nadeshiko is the Japanese women's national soccer team, and it seems to have been brewed with Nadeshiko flower yeast.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of alkali, strawberry, or peach? No, peach? The mouthfeel is sweet like melon and peach, but it is not harsh, and the freshness lingers in the mouth.
After a few days, it has a matured taste like a Western wine, with a refreshing taste at first and a robust taste later. It has a refreshing taste at first, followed by a robust flavor, and then a delicious taste.
I drank it in small doses over a period of about 10 days, and at that time, it did not have a strong, robust flavor, but rather a refreshing mouthfeel, followed by a sweet and umami taste that I liked 😋.
Yummmm 😄.
It has a strong sweetness, but it is also refreshing, clean, and crisp, making it surprisingly refreshing to drink.
It is well-balanced, easy to drink, and has a high level of quality.

When the bottle was opened, there was a slight gas release sound.
As I took a sip, the sweetness increased, with a sweet and fruity sensation.
I thought, "Oh, this is the type I don't like! This is the type I don't like", the heavy sweetness quickly disappeared and was covered by a pleasant acidity.
After the second sip, the heavy sweetness I felt at first was gone, and I felt a smooth fruity sensation.
The acidity and the spiciness of the alcohol were in good balance.
This is delicious!
If the sweetness were a little milder, it might be even better.
Simply delicious. Slightly effervescent and mellow sweet. There is some acidity, but it seems to bring a spiciness to the aftertaste rather than sourness. Delicious!

I had a business trip to Sendai the other day and went to Abehachi for the first time in search of this brand, but they were sold out and I couldn't buy it... I bought Miyakanbai instead. I bought Miyakanbai instead, which was fine.
I went back to my hometown and gave up on it, but I found it at a store in Saitama ⁉️ near me 😍.
It is said to be bitter, but I honestly didn't taste any bitterness. Weak but fruity aroma and soothing sweetness. This is delicious ✨
I'm really happy to be able to drink a brand I've been curious about 😊.
Sweet!
Like syrup.
The alcohol content is low at 8 degrees, so it is good for sake beginners.
But what to serve with it?
I think it is suitable for aperitifs. It also has a sourness, so it would be good with chocolate.
When I drank it the winter before last, it took a while to open the bottle, but this time it was easy 🤨.
I guess it has lost some of its vigor since it has been sitting for more than 6 months 🧐.
But when I drank it, the light acidity greeted me and I enjoyed it even though it didn't have the rummy feeling of the day before. ☺️
