The second X-type spark in this year's Hanpukai.
In terms of specs, it's almost the same as the Xmas-type that comes out every year.
For now, let's compare it with the regular X-type!
The carbonation is not so strong as the common one in this year's hanpukai.
The Xmas-type is very different from the regular X-type because some Xmas-types are as strongly carbonated as the Ten Frog!
The aroma is fruity like a green melon, and the acidity is moderate, just like a melon fruit wine.
The taste is a little different, with a milky sweetness and umami.
The taste is a bit different from the recent Sengoku Nigori and Sparkling, so it probably comes from the tailings.
The acidity is a little stronger than that of X-type, but the overall taste is well-balanced between acidity and sweetness, just like X-type.
Delicious!
The sweetness is a little less than that of A-type sparkling, but the taste is mellow and delicate with a distinctly luxurious feel.
It is a dangerous sake, but one that should be savored carefully and patiently.
