Slightly green melon-like top-end
The same fruity aroma, soft rice flavor, and moderate sweetness as the first rise spread out, and the slight acidity and bitterness finish it off nicely.
It has a refreshing impression with just the right amount of sweetness, and is good as a mid-meal drink or on its own. Compared to a junmai daiginjo I bought at the supermarket a while back, it is clearly delicious.
It went well with Fukuyoshi's special zangi and Fukuyoshi's specialty motsu soba (buckwheat noodles) at the end of the meal.
