TASTING NOTE

Bright, crystal clear. The nose is subtle, offering scents of tropical fruit and pineapple with supporting notes of lychee, mushroom, and earth. The palate is softer than the nose delivering a tropical fruit-driven core with supporting flavors of sudachi and lychee. The finish is crisp. Light to medium-bodied and largely balanced with a lean texture.
