About
Applying wine-aging techniques, this long-selling daiginjo was released in 1975, ahead of others across the country. Tasting Notes Refined and calm, with aromas of watermelon, banana, and white lily blossom. A subtle hint of mint adds a refreshing accent, giving a settled nuance and a tightly focused aroma. Sharp yet moist, with a full body. Elegant and gentle, it leaves a strong impression afterward while remaining well balanced.
