Purchased at Azuma Tsuru in Nishinomiya Gardens
I saw the label and bought it immediately!
I asked the shopkeeper about it, and he said he had to go all the way to Fukushima to finally get the deal.
The sake is a solid champagne gold!
It is a habitual sake with a strong acidity, but it is the type of sake that you can get into!
A good sake with a lot of attention to detail.
I drank it for the first time and it's just as melon-y as the label says.
But it is not overly sweet melon, the first sip is a bit sweet and cucumbery.
But very tasty.
It is made from 100% natural rice, and the only yeast used is the one that comes from the brewery. This sake is made with the utmost care.
The color is as golden as the label!
Aromatic!

Overall evaluation: ★★★★★
It's melon 🍈.
Blue flesh, not red. A little more skin than the middle.
It tastes like that.
It has a strong acidity, so it's like a melon soda.
I was like, "What kind of melon flavor is made with rice?
It's so good!"
I was talking to myself 😅.
My child pointed it out to me.
Good evening, Maru🦉.
I was laughing out loud while reading the second half 🤣Your kids are well watched 😆I'm so happy to see a friendly father and son 😊.
