Earthy and quietly complex, with cucumber, tender squash and fresh rice aromas giving the nose both savoury depth and lift. The palate is rounded and full of umami, shaped by a firm, gently spicy line that keeps the texture energetic. A clear mineral edge carries into a dry, food-friendly finish. Serve lightly chilled or at room temperature with grilled mushrooms, miso-glazed fish, roast chicken, root vegetables or noodle dishes.
