On the palate, its silky texture and balanced smoothness reveal the flavors of 23% polished rice with elegance, evolving to subtle notes of vanilla, white flowers and nuts. The finish is clean, persistent, providing a sensation of freshness and light sweetness, leaving a lasting impression that invites you to savor every sip.

Its versatility also enables it to match delicate Western dishes, such as fine seafood, mild cheeses and chicken dishes.
