＜Pear, sweet acid, slight bitterness of lees, smooth.
The color is slightly orizzled. It is more silver than white. Beautiful.
The aroma is gentle, with a hint of rummy pear. Hmm? A little oily.
In the mouth, sweet and sour of sugar & unripe pear, and a hint of bitter pom-pom. Then, more sweet and sourness. It is clearly fruity, and the slight bitterness of the lees is also pleasant.
And here is where it really starts to shine. Although the taste is clear, it melts in the mouth and disappears without passing down the throat. It is so smooth that there is no sensation of it passing down the throat at all. Yet, the aftertaste is beautifully lingering. The fragrance is also pear-like.
It's really delicious. I have the impression that the sugar is clearer than last year. And there is a slight astringency in the aftertaste.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, I would say it is like Marnie in "Marnie of the Memories". There are many fascinating characters in Ghibli, but I think Marnie is the most beautiful. She is beautiful with freshness and a hint of melancholy.
Degree of liking: ★★★★
