I bought this in Niigata.
It's both winey and smoky.
I felt it went better with western food than Japanese food.
I would buy it again if I have a chance.
It has a wine-like, smoky flavor. It's good, but I had a similar one from Momokawa a while ago, so it didn't have much freshness, and I've decided I don't want to drink this type of wine for a while.
