Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with rich copper undertones.
Nose
Distinctive umami and salted plum notes with mineral undertones. Japanese citrus and subtle oak follow. Intriguing savory aromatics.
Palate
Complex palate with savory umami character balanced against subtle sweetness. Salted plum and citrus notes create unique flavor complexity. Slightly higher proof adds warmth and depth.
Finish
Long finish with persistent umami, mineral notes, and gentle warming spice. Distinctive Japanese character lingers.

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
