Slightly green melon-like top note
The same fruity aroma, plump sweetness, and soft rice flavor spread out with a slight acidity, and are quickly quenched with a slight bitterness and the spiciness of alcohol.
Thanks to the beautiful acidity. It is refreshingly sweet for its sake level, and goes well with meals or on its own.
It went well with various dishes made with local fish at the ryokan and grilled Nagasaki beef shabu-shabu.
The Sechihara Pilsner, made with Sechihara tea, was also delicious, with the aroma of tea and beer matching well.
