First time in Daishinshu! Debuted in hand. I have always wanted to drink this sake. Melon-like aroma. Refreshing on the palate! The mouthfeel is surprisingly light, not unlike sake. It is easy to drink like water with a sour taste. It is like a light white wine and goes well with cheese. I started drinking it fruity even when it was chilled, but it is just as easy to drink when it is lukewarm. I thought Daishinshu was more austere and dry, but it became my favorite brand. Pairings: Salmon sashimi, pancakes, garlic pota-pota grilled cheese, eggplant cod roe butter, thick fried cheese, an doughnut

My first Oita sake, Chiebijin. First time, but behind the scenes! Sweet aroma like pineapple and melon. Slightly effervescent! Like a rice champagne. It tastes firmly of rice.
