The melon-like label made me think that was the case, and yes, there is a melon-like sweetness, but as a fruit aroma, it's all banana! It is more like magic ink than that, though.
The sweetness is moist, mild and delicious! I thought it would have a modern atmosphere, but the sweetness suddenly disappears and the bitterness and alcoholic pungency suddenly transforms it into a classical atmosphere. What an interesting laugh!
I think it is better to drink it as a food wine with sweetness rather than on its own. For example, with a salad with a strong dressing. Gomadorette, Caesar, etc. would be good. Fish should be eaten like carpaccio, not sashimi! For meat, pork shabu-shabu! After all, they all end up like salads.
I was a bit surprised by the strength of this sake, but it is very tasty as an ordinary sake in this direction!
On the third day, despite the time of year, I had it with nabe (hot pot)! I don't know if it's a great match, but it's starting to taste less alcoholic and more melon-y, which is a taste that reminds me of the old days! Delicious!
