While there is some lees in the bottom of the bottle, the bubbles are quite strong.
So I was not sure if I should mix it at first.
While the gas is strong, it is refreshing and light.
However, after the gas is released, you can feel the alcohol strongly and it is very peculiar.
The first taste is of firm rice.
Next, the sweetness and mellow texture typical of nigorizake.
On the other hand, there is a little gas and acidity.
The balance is interesting.
I was attracted by the "very popular" POP at the liquor store and bought it.
It went in easily.
It has a slight fizziness, but the aftertaste is short and refreshing.
