About
Aromas of banana, melon and a gentle floral fragrance come through first. On the palate, notes of steamed rice and honey, ripe fruit and a firm lily-like floral aroma emerge. The overall impression is very soft and refined. A mild yet deep sweetness spreads across the palate. This is followed by fine, close-textured acidity, which brings out a richer sweetness. After the sweetness passes, a moderate bitterness and astringency appear. This taste, felt after the pleasant sweetness, pushes the primary sweetness further forward and also gives the whole a sense of contrast. The bitterness that lingers moderately in the finish enhances the umami of the dishes it is paired with, and also stirs the desire to savor that sweetness again.
