Shu when opened
No gassiness
Slightly plum-like top
The same slightly fruity aroma as on the top rise, soft sweetness and rice flavor spreads with a citrus-like acidity, leaving a slightly bitter, sweet and sour aftertaste that quickly fades away.
The acidity that rises from the beginning is impressive, and the sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt, making it easy to drink.
It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
It went well with Top Value's retort mackerel grilled with salt, meat and potatoes, chicken liver stewed in wine, and chilled tofu.
