The nose has a hint of grapefruit and woody nuances. So this is a wooden vat.
When you drink it, it is still quite shwashy. It is refreshing, but the flavor is more intense than expected, with citrus acidity and a lingering, strong rice umami. I can't remember the last time I had this, so I can't tell the difference between this and the standard Yamadanishiki... regrettably. It's good, so I guess it's ok...
I thought that the taste might have changed considerably based on my previous experience, but the change was about the same as I had imagined. However, when I took it out of the refrigerator to drink it and left it for a few minutes, the cork popped by itself and went to the ceiling...! and it went to the ceiling...it still seems to be in good health.
When I drank it, the robust flavor remained the same, but the overall taste had become more acclimated and went more smoothly.
As it was, I thought it was getting quite sweet...but when I paired it with the snacks, I didn't feel the sweetness as much, and personally, it was easy to drink.
I enjoyed it both during the meal and on its own.
