300 ml bottle from Furusato Nozei. Served chilled in a wine glass. Pours icy clear, shining. Rich, bright nose, fruity, spicy, pear, koji. Crisp and dry flavor, very fruity, with pear and apple and a spicy finish. Relatively dry, but not thin, nice body with warming alcohol and a bit of sweet rice. Elegant and nicely done all around.
