Cabbage with miso sauce
I opened it early because the fridge is jammed 🍾.
Green apple and citrus aromas🍊.
Slight woody aroma from the wood vat on the back.
Slightly chili on the palate
The balance of rich sweetness and impactful acidity is like apricot and white peach 🍑.

The aroma is mild
The taste can be summed up in one word: classic.

Long time no see Nabeshima!

The aftertaste is a slight bitterness, and the way it finishes is also skillful.
A brand that you would want to give as a gift.
