Tasting Comment:
Fukuju’s flagship Daiginjo.
Hyogo’s local high quality Yamadanishiki 100% used. Carefully crafted to make this Daiginjo.
This is very Nada area’s classic style – elegant, good dryness and clean structure.
It shows lychee and melon on the nose and has a refreshing acidity and smooth creaminess.
Long finish with fresh fruit sweetness.
