The same gentle aroma as on the top, firm umami of rice and moderate sweetness spreads with crisp acidity and finishes with a slight bitterness and dryness of alcohol.
In the first half, the mild aroma and the firm umami of rice can be felt, but in the second half, the classical acidity and the dryness of the alcohol make an interesting change in impression.
It is easy to match with meals, and is also crisp and tasty on its own.
It went well with Maki no Udon's chicken rice, seared chutoro (medium fatty tuna), sashimi of octopus head, and fried half a chicken.
