コタロー
It's from the liquor store's hanpukai.
This troubled face? is a good way to loosen up.
The aroma is sour, like grapefruit.
When you take a sip, you get a soft chili, a light sweetness, and a citrusy bitterness.
There also seems to be a hint of astringency...is this the reluctant element?
Overall, it is light, soft, and easy to drink without resistance, and this lightness may be summer sake-like (although I don't think it is summer sake).
As the temperature rises, it seems to have a slight sugar-water sweetness.
As the day goes by, it becomes a little more dry and refreshing.
It's named "reluctant," but rather than accentuating the astringency, I got the impression that it was blended into the overall flavor to create a softer taste.
I enjoyed it as a food sake 🍶.
