The taste is crisp.

It had been sitting still for about a month after purchase, but the supernatant was only about 1/3 full of the net lees.
The first sip of the supernatant was a rich sweetness that was like (peach + banana)/2.
Next, shake the bottle gently and pour it into a glass, and it turns into a sludge. The texture is like amazake, with a few grains of rice remaining on the tongue.
The taste is well-balanced, with the deliciousness of the rice covering the fruity sweetness.
Thank you very much for the meal.
It is made from a slightly special sake rice called "Shunyo," and was very tasty, with a muscat-like flavor and a firm aftertaste that matched well with the gusto of Nakashimaya. I was glad to be able to serve it to everyone in the seminar.
