Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of green apple and banana. When you drop it in your mouth, the sweetness and the freshness of fruits spread. The acidity follows. You also find small bubbles spark. It balances the sweet tastes. The style of this bottle is similar to that of Riesling in German. It is sweet but elegant. Although it contains a lot of tastes, the tastes balances well.

I recommend you should enjoy it with Tempura. The structure of this bottle will part with Tempura’s strong taste.

Chicken saute with white source will be a good partner.
