I found it on the shelf at Takeya in Okachimachi, Tokyo, at room temperature, and since it was not marked as requiring refrigeration, I thought it might work. I thought it might work, so I bought it. I took it home with me because it was slightly cheaper than the usual price of 2,035 yen including tax (2,035 yen including tax). (Senkin's sparklers and back sparklers were sold in the refrigerator and were at a premium price of 2790 and 2949, respectively.) When I poured it into the Riedel O, the first thing I smelled was wood. Like cedar. A little twangy. When I put it in my mouth, it was very sour and woody. The aftertaste is also sour and alcoholic. It is refreshing, but there is a lingering aftertaste. I wonder if this is what it means to be "light"?
