Light aroma of rice and alcohol
The mild banana-like aroma, the moderate sweetness, and the firm umami of rice spread gradually with soft acidity, and the slight bitterness and dryness of the alcohol, while retaining the umami of the rice, make the wine finish smoothly.
It is a somewhat classical sake with a solid impression that goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own, but is a bit heavy.
It goes well with eel on rice, grilled eggplant with ginger ponzu, and chilled tofu with mekabu, mozuku, and akamoku.
