Yamada Nishiki
Slight carbonation typical of Matsumoto
Aroma: Clean, with a hint of pear and other fruitiness.
Taste: Gentle on the palate due to the softness of the water, with a slight carbonation spreading across the tongue; acidity is also slightly present, but the gentleness of the flavor prevails. The middle to lingering finish lacks a little bitterness.
🍴 The slightly carbonated and refreshing taste makes it a good match for seafood. The softness on the palate makes it a good match for scallops carpaccio with a little more oil 🙆♀️ and the dry finish would also be good with spicy peppery mapo tofu 😊.
Memo: I prefer seafood (not only Japanese) to meat.
