Professional Review

"It has a lactic fermentation aroma with hints of young grass, plums and, in the distance, sweetened yoghurt or custard cream. The rich rice flavour and clear, kuzumochi-like sweetness never linger on the palate, and when served cold or at room temperature, it has a wonderful sharpness that brings it all together."

Pairing Suggestion: Drooling chicken, kimchi, apricot tart, roast duck.

"It has a dominant aroma of banana, harmonizing with vibrant scents of muscat grapes and acacia. There is a lively green note reminiscent of ramune (a Japanese carbonated drink with a honey-lime flavor) and self-heal, along with nuances of custard and Weshaar's confectionery in the lingering aftertaste. The taste is refreshing, resembling fermented milk beverages like Calpis. It is recommended to serve at a temperature range of 10 to 15°C, in a tulip glass."

Pairing Suggestion: Sashimi of red snapper, squid with a sprinkling of yuzu zest and salt.
