Water good, rice good, both japan, japan is best, rice wine good, new animal girl. I like drinking, but compared to the nuances like aging method like charred barrels or a bottled in bond applejack made with one harvest one distillery one orchard. When the reasons why the spirit is so special is lost and yes difficult to translate without extensive research, that's when these series are lost. It's like a culinary manga where you have two skewer chapters but one is a chicken grilled in a sweet soy based sauce and the other is a spiced lamb with a nice heat with peppers and onions and both are described by meat good and open fire.
