Shuppock when opened
Almost no gas feeling
Slightly pear-like top note
The same soft aroma, sweetness, and mild rice flavor as the topping, along with soft acidity and a slight gassy feeling, spreads with a pizzazz and finishes with a slight bitterness.
Well-balanced, deep, and serene, it goes well with meals and is also deeply delicious on its own.
It goes well with simmered isotsubu, stir-fried lebanilla, pork kushikatsu, musuko, and edamame (green soybeans).
