Slightly sweet melon-like topping.
The same fresh aroma as the first sip, the umami of rice and the clean sweetness spreads in a flash, and it finishes quickly with a soft bitterness.
It is fresh and juicy with just the right balance of sweetness.
It goes well with Ichitsuru's chicken on the bone and catered lunches.
