April 25, 2024 - Nothing much to add to the following tasting note by Mr. Satofumi Nakamoto (Sommelier). The only thing I would add is the massive primary layer of cantaloupe / melon. Went sublime with creamy seafood gratin.
—(Mr.Nakamoto’s note, from the brewery’s website)—-
The juicy fruit flavors in Japanese pears, lychee and white peaches and the ripe fruit flavors similar to coconut milk harmonize and give a gentle impression. The sweet scent of Wasanbon (powdered sugar candy), the white flowers such as honeysuckle, and the faint scent of Champinion are also strongly felt in the second half. Soft and delicate fresh taste. The smooth and elegant sweetness is also well balanced and adds a refreshing impression. There is a harmony with an extremely comfortable sweetness. It's a sweet impression like when you drink white peach soup.
