Slightly melon and strawberry-like top notes
The slight aroma felt at the top, the moist umami of rice, and the moderate sweetness spreads with a little acidity, and then it is quickly quenched with a slight bitterness and a slight spiciness of alcohol.
It is a well-balanced sake with a mellow, umami-sweet flavor that goes well with meals or on its own.
After the second day, the sweetness deepens and it tastes even better,
It is more refreshing than the Banshu Yamada-Nishiki sake we drank before.
It goes well with grilled saury, grilled chicken wings, grilled fried tofu with ponzu sauce, pork miso soup, and rice cooked in an earthenware pot.
