The same fruity aroma as the top-rise, moderate sweetness and umami of rice spread pichijuwatto with light acidity, and the lingering sweetness and bitterness is quickly quenched with a slight bitter aftertaste.
The balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness is not too light or heavy, but just right.
It goes well with soba noodles with tempura, boiled lighthouse whelk in salted water, and macaroni salad with hokki-gai shellfish.
