The fifth cup: A-Sakura. It has a punchy taste that is just as spicy as the super delicious spiciness. You can drink it like a chestnut manju.
For the last dish, I asked for the mysterious "kadaifu" (blowfish wrapped in a kadaifu wrapper). I asked what a kadaifu was, but the unique crispy texture was so enjoyable and tasty that my drunkenness was blown away.

[Lingering].
Juicy and slightly short. The youthful sweetness and acidity typical of new sake remains and wears off quickly.
Impression: Fresh, juicy and dry.
The aroma is fruity and gorgeous, which is unique to nama-shu. The taste is fresh, but lighter and more refreshing with acidity than the aroma suggests. It is easy to pair with meals.
