I went to the liquor store to buy it for the ride?light I drank before, but it was already sold out😭. I went for a little higher alcohol, but it was a sparkling Junmai Namaishu that seemed to be perfect for the summer! I checked and it seems to be made with white malt, so I guess it's a citric acid sweet and sour type of sake. The light was clearly labeled as "sweet and sour junmai sake", but I wonder what the difference is... When I opened the bottle, there was a refreshing sweet and sour aroma. It has a gaseous taste, but it is moderately sweet and sour, and it refreshes the palate. The balance of sweetness and acidity is well balanced, round and clear! If it were served by the glass alone, I would accept it even if I were told it was sparkling wine... I tend not to reach for heavy sake in the summer, but I think this fizzy, sweet and sour coolness will be well received by younger people who tend to shy away from sake. It has 9% alcohol content, and I hope they will put it in convenience stores instead of the STRONG type sake that seems to disappear eventually...
