Medium white head. Hazy golden body. Fruity earthy aroma with toffee and grape notes. Dry-sweetish musty earthy taste with papery notes. Mid-bodied. MIld, flat mouthfeel. Dryish fruity grape aftertaste with earthy sake notes. It’s nice, but a bit musty and odd. (0.33l bottle, shop at Tokyo Station.)

Bottle from Yamaoka san. lemony aroma with some shiso, not a whole lot, light pilsner malts, window cleaner. Light gold, with a lacy head. Lemongrass, pledge, a bit of shiso, and some bready malts. Thin, slightly tart, sweet not not so much. Tastes rather fake, but not horrible, the finish is very dry. Refreshing and not bad, though not much shiso comes out. Maybe too much lemon grass, though it kinda works.
