When the bottle is opened, there is a puffon.
Moderate gassiness
Slight green apple-like top note with sweetness
The aroma is not so flashy as to be called fruity, but it has the same aroma as the top-rise, and the full flavor of rice and moderate sweetness spreads with a gentle acidity.
There is nothing sharp about it, and it is well-balanced and deeply delicious. Can be served as a mealtime drink or on its own.
Goes well with Nagasaki chanpon and Fukuoka bite-sized gyoza.
Cherry blossoms can still be seen here, but they are about to start falling.
