Tasting Comment
You feel the flavor of citrus. When you drop it in your mouth, the sweetness of rice and the acidity of citrus spread. As the sweetness disappears, the bitterness comes and the finish is sharp. It is crisp and clear. This brewery is known to brew their Japanese Sake with super soft water. The pureness represents their Terroir very well. The style is close to that of Soave, Italian wine.

Fruity-Acid: 4/5 (1 is Fruity, 5 is Acid)

Fresh seafood will be a good partner. It is better to avoid of enjoying heavy dish.
Oyster must be a perfect partner. You can enjoy it with any style oyster, raw or boiled, grilled.
Spanish dish will also part well. I tried with seafood paella. They are married well.
