No gassy feeling from the moment the bottle was opened.
Slightly lychee-like top notes
The fruity lychee-like aroma, modest sweetness, and firm rice flavor spreads, and is quickly quenched by tangy acidity and bitterness.
On the second day, the spiciness increases slightly, but after the third day, the sweetness increases and it feels round again.
Well-balanced and refreshing sake that is easy to pair with meals.
It went well with egg omelet and Sawan (pickled dumplings).
