Slight pineapple and banana-like top notes.
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, and the soft sweetness of the firm rice flavor spreads with lactic acidity, and is quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol.
It is moderately fruity and has a good balance of sweetness and spiciness. It goes well with meals, and is also delicious on its own.
It goes well with Bibai yakitori (a local Hokkaido food), seared shime saba (mackerel), dashimaki tamago (rolled egg), and motsu soba (soba noodles) to end the meal.
