Kaori
The color is clear and colorless.
The nose has some floral elements, but the aroma is not as strong, and there are some mild elements. Hints of apple, and citrus like grapefruit and orange. There is also an element of concentrated sweetness, like nectar from flowers. There is also a slight riceiness, like a little bit of Kamishinko (rice powder).
With 13% alcohol, the attack is quite mild and gentle. In the aroma, the alcohol is a bit pungent, but on the palate, it is much lower than 13%. It has a soft sweetness and a smooth texture. From the spread, it is still juicy sweet and sour with citrus fruits.
The flavor is also smooth with almost no aftertaste sharpness, so overall, the impression is consistently smooth. It is very easy to drink, but some may find it lacking. The lingering umami is accompanied by juicy acidity and a tannin-like astringent element, as if it were made in wooden vats and aged in oak barrels.
The lingering flavor is somewhat long, but the impression is delicate and reserved. The astringent element that lingers on the palate is also a tannin-like astringent element that tightens the palate.
