Shu-pon when opened
Slightly gassy
Slightly pineapple-like top notes with a hint of banana.
The mild aroma, firm rice flavor, and moderate sweetness on the first sip are spread out with lactic acidity, and the bitterness leaves the rice flavor while it finishes quickly.
It has a thick flavor with a noticeable umami, but the acidity and gaseous bitterness make it relatively refreshing to drink, and it goes well with a meal or on its own.
After the second day, the umami and the aroma of rice increase, giving it a mellow and mellow impression.
It went well with my wife's Bolognese with mushrooms.
It went well with beefsteak, mozuku vinegar, and grilled verandah Nanban.
It went well with eel bowl and chilled tofu.
