Sommelier Motohiro Okoshi Comments

Tasting
Aromas of white peach, banana, steamed rice, with hints of sour cream. Bright yet gentle aroma.
There is a mild sweetness pervaded by the umami of rice, and a modicum of acidity and bitterness that provides balance and contrast.
character that reverberates peacefully in the finish.

Pairing
Fig Shiroae, mozzarella and white peach salad, smoked salmon and okara ae The sweetness of the sake and the food lend a soft texture to the tasting experience.
