Professional Review

"The lactic fermentation aroma blooms finely. The aromatic expression moves from white peach and plum fruitiness to banana blossom and a sense of cemedine. The palate begins with a sensational encounter with wildflower nectar, followed by a long finish of clear apple juice and luxurious, noble melon. Enjoy with a well-chilled, chilled bottle. "

Pairing Suggestion: Reef fish sashimi platter, foie gras terrine, herb and apple salad, roast duck.

"It has a refreshing yogurt aroma as the main note, accompanied by hints of almond jelly, plum compote, woody fragrance, and a subtle scent reminiscent of steamed skin or grains vinegar. With its low alcohol content, sweetness, and lightness, it leaves a strong impression due to its well-defined and delicate acidity. This sake is beginner-friendly and recommended even for those who are not fond of sake, as it has qualities that make it worth trying. It is best served at a temperature between 5°C and 10°C, using a thin ceramic ochoko (small cup) for an optimal experience."

Pairing Suggestion: It shows potential for pairing with Thai or Indian ethnic cuisine, particularly dishes featuring yogurt, coconut milk, herbs, and chili peppers. In Japanese cuisine, it complements dishes like simmered anago (conger eel) and simmered clams, as well as Edomae-style sushi featuring 'tsume' (a rich, sweet sauce used in sushi).
