Professional Review
"Starting with an aroma reminiscent of orange-colored flesh, such as Yubari melon, the fragrance gradually reveals the scent of yeast, leaving a fruity and complex aftertaste that lingers on. At first, the taste is gentle, similar to lactic acid fermentation, and gradually, the sweetness of the rice spreads throughout. Although not a dry sake, it has the sharpness typical of a daiginjo, creating a refreshing drinking experience. This sake can be enjoyed at any temperature, whether it be chilled, at room temperature, or warm."
Pairing Suggestion: Risotto with white truffle, Inari sushi, vegetable tempura

"It features a rich aroma with predominant notes of mandarin, mango, and Chinese quince, harmonizing with the green scents of celery and bamboo, as well as the fragrances of fresh cream and freshly made mochi. There is a subtle accent of biscuit-like toastiness. The taste is slightly sweet, with a smooth and creamy balance. It is clear and free of any unwanted flavors. It is recommended to serve at a temperature range of 10 to 15°C, in a larger Burgundy glass."
Pairing Suggestion: Honey-glazed Jinhua ham, lemon-stewed sweet potatoes, and fresh cheese. It also pairs well with desserts such as strawberry daifuku (mochi) or white peach tart
