Impression
Aromatic, modern, light and dry
While the ginjo aroma of melon and other fruits is subtle, the taste is light and refreshing, with citric acidity like that of ramune.
As is typical of sake made by a shochu brewery, it stands out for its "core transparency," and is a smart sake that is designed to harmonize well with meals. It is not flashy, but it has "quality and sophistication," and you will not get tired of drinking it.
It has a good balance of aroma and taste, and is best served cold in a wine glass.
