Appearance:

Crystal clear, with a slight shimmer that reflects its refined distillation process. The spirit's clarity hints at its smooth and delicate character.

Aroma:

A vibrant bouquet of Japanese citrus (yuzu and kabosu), with delicate floral notes of cherry blossoms and jasmine. Beneath the bright fruit and florals, there are whispers of green tea, angelica, and a light, herbal earthiness that creates a refreshing and uplifting nose.

Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus zest, soft herbal notes, and a subtle hint of spice. The finish is smooth yet vibrant, leaving behind a delicate and slightly floral aftertaste.
