My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake poured into the cup is milky white.

When I poured it into the cup, I caught a faint whiff of yuzu.

It was amazake that, as soon as I took a sip, filled my mouth with the aroma and flavor of yuzu.

This amazake features a prominent yuzu flavor. The addition of yuzu’s tartness gives it a refreshing taste.
