It has a refreshing, fruity aroma reminiscent of green apples and muscat grapes. There is also a slight hint of grapefruit-like citrus. A fresh taste spreads in the mouth, followed by a clear, elegant sweetness. The gentle acidity and subtle bitterness give it a firm finish. Aged for a year and a half, it has the perfect balance of youth and mellowness. It is a sake that can be enjoyed chilled from late summer to early autumn, when the heat still lingers.
Try seafood such as sea bream marinated in kelp, conger eel dipping sauce, or carpaccio, or seasonal vegetables such as grilled eggplant, chilled tomatoes, or bagna cauda, or seasonal fruits such as fig tempura or pears wrapped in prosciutto.
