Clear and colorless
Aroma
It has a very strong aroma of melon and pear.
It is a little more mature than Kamidate, but you can still feel the aroma of fruit.
It disappears with the taste.
Taste
Attack There is a slight alcoholic feeling when attacking.
Sweetness Perhaps because of the aroma, you can feel a refreshing sweetness.
Sourness I can hardly feel.
Umami: Weak, maybe?
Bitterness (astringency) A little astringency.
Alcoholic sensation A refreshing alcoholic sensation at the attack and at the end.
Ageing: None
Food to pair with
Braised chicken with mustard ★★★★☆ Not to be outdone by the aroma of mustard spices
Fresh Onion and Summer Vegetable Salad★★☆☆ Especially cucumber, but I don't think it goes well with greenish...
Lentil Simple Mapo Tofu★★★★★ Ah, it goes well with Chinese pepper!
Verdict: It's not so much that it's dry and light, it's more that it has a strong fruity aroma and a refreshing sweetness that is very pleasant. It's not too sweet, but it's sharp enough to go with rice.
