Complex, multilayered aromas of banana, steamed rice, grilled almond, clove, and mushroom. The palate weaves mellow sweetness with umami depth and structural acidity for a sustained finish. Despite its complexity, each element integrates beautifully—a classic composition with a modern texture.

Clean yet rich aromas combining umami and lactic notes such as apple yogurt, rice pudding, and acacia flower. With air, toasty rice cracker and chalk-like minerality emerge. On the palate, roasted grain umami integrates with sour-cream-like acidity in a creamy texture. A gentle sweetness balances the structure provided by fine grip.

Distinctly aromatic with clear expression of the raw ingredients—roasted nuts, barley straw, and a hint of dried shiitake. On the palate, umami reminiscent of mushrooms and a rich mouthfeel add depth, while smoky, savory flavors linger pleasantly.

Pale onion-skin color. Aromas of white peach, rosehip, and citrus peel. Sharp acidity and fine grip form the structure, while a pleasant bitterness adds complexity to the finish. A light, dry wine expressing varietal character.
