Tasting Notes
A gentle yet expressive bouquet, highlighted by a vibrant sense of fresh melon, hints of yogurt, and a delicate floral nuance reminiscent of fragrant osmanthus. Behind these layers lies the refined scent of steamed rice and a subtle grain-like note evocative of sakura mochi, all balanced by a mineral edge akin to wet stone.
The first impression brings soft sweetness and a rounded, expansive texture, while toward the finish, a chalky grip lends a subtle tension across the palate. The mid-palate reveals harmonious umami, resulting in a sophisticated and well-balanced flavor profile.
