Slightly alcoholic grapefruit-like top note
The same aroma as the top rise, with a fruity aroma of apples and grapes, a moderate sweetness and firm rice flavor that spreads with fine acidity and a hint of bitterness, and is quickly quenched by the bitterness and slight spiciness of alcohol.
It has a modern tendency, giving the impression of being mellow, but the aftertaste is rather refreshing. The aroma is somewhat similar to that of Shinmasa.
As the day goes by, the balance improves gently.
It went well with grilled kombu-majime mackerel, olive pork shumai, homemade name-mushrooms, and sauteed shredded spinach with butter.
It also went well with grilled chicken wings cooked at low temperature (seasoned with Sun-Diner Foods' barbecue salt).
