That's what I'm talking about! It's a very beautiful drink!
It has a pleasant fruity flavor without being too flamboyant.
In a word, it can be described as "white wine like sake". 蛇の目スマイルLiked 3.7
If I were to sum up my impressions in one word, it would be "a very dry young melon.
Kick ass!
Goes great with fried food! 蛇の目スマイルTaste level 3.1
My impression in a nutshell: "(Shaoxing wine + whisky) / 2".
The nose is oaky, nutty and almondy. The taste is sweet, like Shaoxing wine.
I thought it was too early for me to taste such an aged wine!
