Special Free has a flavor that gives a fruity scent, and contains amino acids that give sweetness and umami. Like the real Daiginjo sake, it is suitable for chilling and drinking.

If you put it in the refrigerator and leave it for a while and then open the lid, the scent of sake will rise from the mouth of the bottle. When you put it in your mouth, it reproduces sweetness, slight acidity, and even the pungent spiciness that remains, and it is unbelievable that it does not contain alcohol.

When you drink it, you may get drunk just by the atmosphere, but as you taste it with two or three mouths, you will get the impression that it is similar to sake. Is it a bit like ginger ale if you force it?

Looking at the raw materials, Yuzu extract etc. are used. Is this the source of the fruity scent? I added ice to check the taste better. You can hesitate with genuine Daiginjo sake, or feel free to use non-alcoholic beverages.

When you add ice, the flavor like yuzu stands out.

When chilled on ice, the sweetness and acidity will subside a little and the more fruity odor will become apparent. Certainly it had a faint yuzu-like flavor.

As the ice gradually melted, the unique rich taste and aroma faded, but it was still suitable for enjoying each bite rather than quenching thirst, and it is like sake no matter how you drink it. It was a mysterious non-alcoholic drink that did not lose its taste.
