About
Named "Ishidaya" after the yago (trading name). Tasting Notes Richly aromatic, with a sense of harmony and refinement. Underneath, subtle notes of white peach and lime peel add a refreshing accent. Faint hints of gardenia, vanilla, fresh almond, and spice such as white pepper emerge as time passes, and a rose-like floral fragrance unifies the whole into a noble, refined aroma. Harmony emerges the moment it touches the tip of the tongue. A smooth, velvety texture and a firm, taut strength maintain an exquisite balance, and a finely textured flavor spreads across the palate. A gentle hint of rose blossom is perceived, and the extremely refined flavor lingers long on the finish. Recommended Pairings In French cuisine, try Bresse chicken, long favored by many chefs, prepared in a way that suits Ishidaya. In Japanese cuisine, sea bream baked in rock salt. In Chinese cuisine, shark fin simmered in the style of the imperial court. It also pairs well with lion's mane mushroom (yamabushitake) and Ise lobster.
