Monnaka, which I have longed to visit, is at Shimorome.
Aroma of slightly ripe rice grain,
It also has a fruity nuance like red apples.
The texture is silky and smooth.
It has a slight apricot and apple fruity aroma.
The taste is round with a beautiful graininess.
Smartly contoured acidity and spiciness that goes down the throat.
It finishes with a quiet aftertaste.
It goes well with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard with salmon roe on top) with a hint of Tosa vinegar.
Preference 4/5
