When the bottle is opened, it pops!
Moderate gassiness
Banana and chestnut-like top notes
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, the robust umami of rice, and the plump sweetness spread out with a clean acidity, and are quickly quenched by the bitterness and a little bit of alcohol spiciness.
It has a characteristic, mellow impression of rice flavor and sweetness, and is delicious with a meal or on its own.
It went well with octopus carpaccio and various sashimi.
