I’ll back what she said: dairy, yogurt, vanilla melon rind -accurate, though lactic acid is in there too. Not sweet enough for whey, but water and those flavors, absolutely. I seem to like it better than others; perhaps it’s the lack of acidity or sharpness as this is soft, good body, a great summer saké to serve cold for sipping. Perhaps not ideal pairing with food, but delicious in its own right. — 2 years ago
