Pon when opened
Moderate gassiness
Slight apple and grape-like overtones
The same slight aroma as the topping, a little sweetness, and rice flavor spreads with a pichijuwatto (soft acidity) and finishes with a slight bitterness.
It is not flamboyant or rich, but it is mildly well-balanced and good at accompanying a meal. It is better suited for a meal than as a stand-alone sake.
It went well with grilled sagari at Ajikakuen, grilled shishito peppers from Veranda, and pe-takoyaki (a dish from a restaurant that appeared on Degawa's "Charge me, please").
It also went well with kampachi sashimi.
It also went well with tonkatsu (pork cutlet), fried oysters, and fried shrimp.
