I met this one when I traveled to Gifu, and it is my companion for this evening. When you open the bottle, the fruity aroma is unbearably pleasant. The juiciness is in full bloom and makes you salivate. When you put it in your mouth, despite the aroma, it has a firm dry taste. The sharpness of the throat is wonderful. I wonder if a weak bitter taste remains in the throat. After a salad with mentsuyu/vinegar/yuzu kosho, the bitterness weakens and the refreshing taste improves. When paired with fried eggplant with garlic, it has a subtle sweetness that is also delicious. Today's main dish is fried horse mackerel with tartar sauce. It goes well with dry sake. It also goes well with salty bone crackers.
