About
Although it is a daiginjo, we do not emphasize yeast-derived aromas. Instead, we value the flavors that come from the rice. The moment a pleasant aroma of banana and melon gently comes through, a fresh, pineapple-like brightness spreads across the palate. The finish combines gentle sweetness enveloped in refreshing acidity, leaving a calm aftertaste. Lightly chill in the refrigerator and enjoy in a wine glass or similar glass.
