Professional Review

"In the moist, granola-like yoghurt and grain aromas, there is a gentle feminine sweetness of the rice and a slight banana aroma in the distance. It has a gorgeous white wine Sancerre-like flavour, with a pear-like coolness and a good amount of almost fruity sweetness, and the delicious taste of the rice is thinly shelved. Cold sake is recommended."

Pairing Suggestion: Light white tempura, sesame paste, vegetable terrine, white mould cheese.

"It has a predominant aroma of banana and yellow apples, with harmonious notes of pineapple, acacia, cherry blossom leaves, and scents reminiscent of chestnut flowers and freshly pounded mochi (rice cakes). It has a rich and mellow mouthfeel, with a delicate acidity and a dry, invigorating aftertaste. It has a good sharpness. It is recommended to serve at a temperature range of 10 to 15°C, in a tulip glass."

Pairing Suggestion: Yellowtail sashimi with grated egg yolk, marinated tomatoes and zucchini with olive oil, grilled scallops with marinara sauce.
