"The nose has notes of cemedine, young bananas and bamboo shoots. Thanks to its moderate acidity and sufficient sharpness, it is very food-friendly. It is a perfect complement to Japanese dishes with a hint of oil, and to Western dishes with fermented or creamy flavours. Cold sake is recommended, as well as hot sake."

"It has a refreshing grapefruit aroma as the main note, along with deeper scents reminiscent of watermelon rind and custard, which add complexity. There is a subtle hint of burnt nuances like bitter chocolate or brown sugar, perhaps derived from the firing process. There are also hints of scents resembling paint or ink. The flavor is a dry sake with a pronounced acidity. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 5°C and 12°C. For enhancing its crispness, a straight and thin glass is recommended. If you prefer to bring out the fullness of flavor, a Riesling glass is recommended."
