The "005 Okumidori" with its subtle roasted aroma is characterized by a gentle sweetness and refreshing taste. It pairs well with cream-based sweets that have a hint of saltiness, enhancing each other's flavors to create a richer, more full-bodied experience.
For this pairing, we've chosen a honey-flavored biscuit filled with sweet cream and small cubes of Gorgonzola cheese.
