300ml bottle, bottled 2022.4, a little old I know. Perfectly clear with a very light yellow-green tint. Aroma is kind of vinous (Sauvignon blanc?), pear, melon. Taste is the same, slightly vinous, pear, melon, nice fruitiness, pleasant warming alcohol finish. Really enjoyed this one.

11/5/2022. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed. Region #391, Japanese region 21/47. Pours clear colourless with no head. Aroma starts sweet, with a big initial hit of dolly mixtures. Quickly moved on to aniseed, before mellowing. Keeps some candy sweetness, with fruity honeydew melon, and a light boozy edge. Fairly sweet, but with a nicely balance bitterness. Moderate body, oily, no carbonation. Developed well, enjoyed it.
