The same gentle, fruity aroma as the first sip, the soft sweetness and umami of the rice spread out with a gentle acidity, and it finishes quickly with a lingering sweetness of the rice with a hint of bitterness.
It is gentle, but the umami of the rice can be felt well, and it is elegant and beautifully balanced.
There is nothing sharp about it, so it goes well with a meal, but it is also delicious on its own.
It went well with ginger yaki with lots of ginger and homemade name mushrooms.
