About
The appearance is clear and pale, with a crystal-like transparency and a slight yellow tint. The first impression of the aroma is youthful and vivid, with notes of Western pear, white peach, and acacia blossom. There are also aromas of steamed rice and freshly pounded mochi, along with a slight limestone-like mineral scent. The palate is somewhat light, with a mellow, full sweetness. The acidity is gentle and not especially assertive. The finish is rather short but clean. It pairs well with delicate white-fleshed sashimi and vinegar-cured blue-skinned fish, and is recommended at around 12 to 15 degrees Celsius.
