At first, you can smell the gentle floral fragrance of small flowers, followed by a light and delicate mouthfeel. Then comes the rich and mellow taste of sweet potato, creating a delightful fusion of flavors with layers of complexity. The most recommended way to enjoy it is to mix it with hot water, blending slightly warmer hot water and shochu in a 6:4 ratio, which allows you to savor an excellent combination. Additionally, in the hot summer days, ice water is also a great option.
