Chilled, room temperature: The aroma is wonderful and surpasses that of an ordinary daiginjo. Fresh, sweet, apple-like aroma reminiscent of Otters.
On the rocks: Overall mild, especially the bitterness is gone and the sweetness is stronger. Later on, the fullness of flavor is lost.
It is considered the best of the Kikumasagin series, with a stronger flavor and bitterness in comparison, as well as 30% more ethyl caproate, the substance from which the aroma is derived.
It is priced at less than 900 yen for a 900 ml bottle, and is packaged in paper cartons and printed with rice ink, making it easy to handle and eco-friendly.
