The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Steamed rice with a faint nutty edge, like cooled short grain, plus a clean mineral note and a whisper of fresh mushroom.
Palate
Light bodied and soft on the tongue, almost silky. Sweet rice up front, then a gentle nuttiness, finishing dry with a mild acidity that keeps it refreshing.
Finish
Clean and short to medium, with the rice flavor fading slowly and a slight dryness that invites another sip.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Chill it to about 50 to 55 degrees for a crisp, easy glass, or warm gently to 100 to 105 degrees to bring out the rice sweetness. Use a small wine glass or a traditional ochoko. No ice needed. A splash of water opens the nutty notes if you want it softer.
