とくさん
At a sake bar in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
We ordered a type-S but it was out of stock, so we ordered a type-X. . We also ordered an ecru wine to compare notes.
On the palate, it was sweet and sour like white wine, with aromas of pears and muscat grapes. I found it to have a relatively long lingering taste of pleasant flavors. One would suspect that it is made from rice.
This was certainly an impressive drink that made me keenly aware that this would be a popular choice.
