"016 Musashikaori," with its fresh umami and mellow flavor, pairs wonderfully with Japanese cuisine.
If you’re serving it with chirashi sushi dressed with sweet vinegar, brewing at a high temperature is recommended. Even when served piping hot, you can fully enjoy its rich umami, juicy fruit-like taste, and refreshing aroma reminiscent of new greenery.
