Professional Review

"The nose is both discreet, like Mont Blanc or steamed chestnuts, and bewitching, like ripe tropical fruit. At slightly higher temperatures, toasty notes are added. The taste gives a strong impression of umami. Compared to regular ginjo-shu, the sweetness is gentler and less deceptive. The depth and complexity of the flavour is difficult to understand, and the aftertaste is long-lasting. Cold sake is recommended."

Pairing Suggestion: Simple grilled fish such as shishamo and mezashi(Japanese Fish), tuna sashimi, white mould cheese.

"It has a fresh aroma with predominant notes of grapefruit, banana, Japanese citrus, and Chinese quince. There is a refreshing quality reminiscent of mint and radish, along with the creamy fragrance of almond tofu. It has a light and elegant sweetness, balanced with a hint of refined acidity. The bitterness is subtle, resulting in a smooth texture. The aftertaste is moderately short. It is recommended to serve this sake at a temperature between 10°C and 15°C, using a small tulip glass for presentation."

Pairing Suggestion: Grilled sweet sea bream with herb seasoning and honey mustard sauce. It pairs well with a wide range of seafood and Japanese cuisine.
