Tasting Notes

Koueigiku Mikatsuki White presents a refined, lively aromatic profile with delicate white fruit, subtle florals, and a fresh, citrus-like brightness. The palate combines gentle sweetness, concentrated umami, and vibrant acidity with Koueigiku’s signature fine spritz. Extended low-temperature maturation adds depth and a smooth, layered texture while preserving a clean, elegant finish. Best served chilled, it pairs beautifully with seafood risotto, steamed crab, Camembert cheese, and delicately prepared shellfish.
