Serve with dada-cha-mame (green soybeans), chilled tofu, boiled bracken, red shrimp, seared sashimi of squid, and grilled sweetfish. Extremely delicate. Alc 11%. Slightly lower in whiteness than the Ecru. The flavor is gorgeous, just like that of Shinmasa. I am a big fan of this wine, so I even bought the front cover of the brewery.
