The aroma opens with a deep, autumnal richness — brown sugar, roasted chestnut, maple, pumpkin, a hint of dried fruit, and the savoury tang of narazuke pickles. On the palate, it begins softly yet with weight, full-bodied and velvety in texture. A balanced interplay of gentle fruity sweetness, recalling green apples and pears, meets a lively acidity. As it warms on the tongue, the sweetness and umami deepen, growing rounder and more layered. The finish is long and clean, leaving a subtle, refreshing sourness behind.
