Mutsu Otokoyama Classic

The aroma is extremely subtle, with only the faintest hint of scent on the nose. The initial impression is soft and smooth, offering a touch of sweetness and a delicate, natural effervescence. Light-bodied with a refined texture, it evokes a fruity impression reminiscent of sparkling sake, carried by a bright, fizzy acidity. There's a crisp dryness throughout, leading into a clean, extended finish with a mild tingling sensation and a pleasant rice-driven aftertaste. It turned out to be a surprising experience—quite different from what we initially expected.
