No gas feeling
Slight ripe banana and alcohol overtones
The same aroma as the first rise, with a ripe aroma like chestnuts, a full sweetness and firm rice flavor that spreads out with a slightly heavy acidity, and a spiciness and slight bitterness from the alcohol that quickly fades away.
It has a solid impression due to its maturity, and although it goes well with meals, it feels a little heavy on its own.
It goes well with bonito sashimi and homemade tataki.
