Slightly grape and apple-like top notes
The same mild aroma, clean sweetness and umami of rice spread with a little acidity and a slight bitterness.
The overall impression is calm and well-balanced, and it goes well with meals, but is also refreshing and delicious on its own.
It went well with the various dishes served at Maru Restaurant, which we visited at the pre-opening.
