A silky, foam-topped cocktail that balances bright melon sweetness against the floral citrus notes of bergamot and yuzu. The Japanese gin provides a clean, botanical backbone, while the egg white creates a creamy texture that softens the drink's edges. The result is light, aromatic, and distinctly refreshing—somewhere between a sour and a delicate perfume.
