""Aromas like apples with skin sautéed in butter. Then dried grapes, semi-dried persimmons, and smoky richness lingering on the palate. There is a freshness and fruity attack not found in French Calvados. Beyond the sharpness of the alcohol, bewitching sweetness and complex aromatics await, and the quality is so high that it is hard to believe it is from Japan. Great to drink straight or on the rocks.""

""Initially there is a strong smell of vaporizing alcohol at the start of the pour, but gradually caramelized apples, bitter chocolate, white spices, black tea, and oaky aromas swell. The flavor is fresh, strong and straight. Drinking on the rocks or straight at room temperature is recommended. It is also good to try mixing it with amber beer or other beers.""
