A fruity nose with aromas of melon, white peach, green apple, and lychee, alongside gentle notes of vanilla. The first sip is remarkably refined, opening with a soft yet expressive entry, a velvety texture, and a full body. Akakura describes the sake in its "Sexy Series" as fruity, with a slight bitterness and mellow depth, and a fragrant aroma and broad flavour profile.

On the palate, sweetness and refreshing bitterness are balanced beautifully, with an almost lightly viscous texture. The character clearly reflects the Misatonishiki rice, originally developed from Yamada Nishiki and Miyama Nishiki, bringing together the richness of one and the light elegance of the other. The sake carries a distinct elegance throughout, finishing crisp and clean- a beautifully crafted brew.
