Delicate notes of white flowers, ripe white fruits (pear, apple), honey, vanilla, fresh wintry minerality, almond, and a gentle smokiness. Some sources also mention 'Potapota-yaki' (hot egg omelet seasoned with soy sauce), honey lemon, and raisins, or candied lemons, pickled ume, and sweet grains.
Palate
Smooth and full-bodied with a balance of sweetness and spice. Flavors of lightly toasted almonds, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried apricot, and a subtle hint of peat. Also described as smoky and citrusy notes, orange peel, and smoky cedar.
Finish
Long and warm, with lingering notes of almond and a light smokiness. Delicate floral and spicy notes, a touch of oak, 'Poivre rosé', orange sauce, and salted lemon. Some mention bitter lemon peel and vanilla cream.
