The color is a little yellowish, and there is almost no scent of suplementary aroma. Some ethyl caproate-like aroma? Slight ethyl caproate-like aroma?
The attack has a clear yogurt-like flavor. The umami spreads gradually rather than sweetness. The lingering aroma has a melon-like bitterness that tickles the nose, while the umami has a presence at the top below.
It is a kind of "umami spiciness," and perhaps because it is a special junmai, the umami comes forward more than one might expect.
As a pairing, it seems to cover both tonal and resetting effects, so it seems to go well with a wide range of fish and meat!
