The power of fermentation with three times the amount of Koji brings out the flavor of red rice strongly and firmly. The scent is reminiscent of dark cherries and dried fruits. The mouthfeel is well-balanced with the sweetness and sourness of products such as dried cherries and dried figs. The soft and refreshing acidity like strawberries produces a beautiful sharpness.
