Not much aroma, light pear type. The mouthfeel is sour, then sweet, and finally bitter. The low alcohol content (13%) gives it no sense of alcohol. It has a good drinking experience, but it doesn't have that sticky feeling after drinking, which is good for those who don't like that.

Only served cold as it is a summer sake. The aroma is rather weak, but there are hints of rice and some pineapple. Refreshing sweetness and a bit of sourness at the beginning. Finishes with a firm bitterness. This sake is a good substitute for beer on a summer night. It is refreshing in the mouth, so it would go well with Chinese food.

When served cold, the aroma is sake aroma, faint green apple and creep. When drunk, the first taste is sweetness and umami of rice, followed by a tangy acidity that lasts until the end. When served cold, the umami becomes fuller and the acidity decreases. When heated, the aroma becomes thick like honey and condensed milk, and the mouthfeel is intensely sweet, umami, and sour. The sourness and alcohol taste will disappear when the sake cools down a little, so if you are not a fan of that, lukewarm heating may be a good option. Personally, I enjoyed it cold or hot as recommended by the brewery.
