Luscious taste of red melon
Ridiculously light aftertaste!

The aroma is distinctly sweet and mellow.
It is also sweet in the mouth. It is sweet like a banana. It may be the sweetest one I've had recently.
Not only sweet, it has a complex flavor with a hint of bitterness and sourness.
Finally, the sweetness and umami spread slowly and leave a lingering aftertaste.
The various flavors repeat like waves, slowly receding.
A true work of art.
Beautiful clear color, gently fragrant ginjo aroma. Good balance of sweetness and acidity from the slight gasiness in the mouth (^^)
The label is by a famous calligrapher.
The fourth drink at YATA, which specializes in junmai sake, was Shinshin🍶.
My memory is getting a little fuzzy around here (lol).
This sake is made from an unfamiliar sake rice called satoumi rice. As the label says, you could really taste the umami in a refreshing taste ✨.
Mouth opening. Isn't it sweet and tasty? said the proprietress.
The aroma is a little sharp, but it is subtle and does not rise to the top.
Slightly fizzy.
The rice malt is quite fresh and slightly pineapple-like.
The sweetness is clear.
When swallowed, it has a melon-like fruity taste as it leaves the throat.
There is a refreshing acidity afterwards.
Surprisingly, it is more lively than sweet and tasty.
