satisfying
Sweet, nutty mochi rice is steamed, dried and roasted – then combined with traditional Bancha green tea. The result is notes of vegetal spinach and green bean, balanced perfectly with nutty rice cake and just a hint of umami-rich nori. Brass yellow in colour, the liquor has a light astringency and rounded finish, as well as sweet, buttery aroma of pecan.
