Here it is, Classic Senkou Muketsu. It's my favorite brewery. It has an aroma like melon, and when you put it in your mouth, it dances in your mouth in the order of transparency, gasiness, and umami, leaving a light aftertaste, and then it snaps quickly. It is delicious. The pop-up at the liquor store where I bought it said it was "watery", but I know what you mean. I can't really put it into words, but I think it must be quite difficult to achieve this balance. Senkou has become famous for its domaine, but this sake is made with a traditional yeast mash. I was surprised to find out that this sake was made with a traditional yeast mash as I have a preconceived notion that "yeast mash ≒ complex umami ≒ peculiar taste". Preconceptions are no good. It goes well with food, but this time I paired it with sashimi. This time, I paired it with sashimi. It is a nama-shu, so it has an aroma, but it is relatively light, so it goes well unexpectedly. Of course it goes well with cheese, but I think it goes well with western food in general. We have a feeling that we will run out of 720ml soon.
