I opened this one to make it snow myself because it seems that it won't snow in Kanto this year.
This is it! It reminded me of a few years ago when I first fell in love with Senkou. The ease of drinking and the drinkability remind me of both the sharp Senkou of 2015-2016 and the more refined Senkou of today.
I drink this every year, and this year's Snowball is the best I've had in years! Honestly, there's a lot of individual variability and last year I felt it was too sweet or too dry, but what I had this year was a great balance, not too sweet and not too dry.
I wonder if this is isoamylic acid? It is characterized by an elegant melon-like, banana-like, pear-like fruity taste and just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, but the sweetness is actually not that much, and it quickly turns dry in the middle, making it an excellent product that will impress both amateurs and experts (I think lol).
Towards the end, when I mixed the tailings thoroughly, the taste of the rice was quite strong, and it also added a taste like sweet sake with strong alcohol. Mmmm, also delicious!
