EMISHIKI SENSATION BLACK

Sensation Black has a fresh scent like young grass, pandan, green apple, and strawberries. It has soft and delicate sweetness that is reigned in by the rising acidity. A rounded but firm mouthfeel with a crisp finish enhanced by minerality and amino acids. The bitterness of yeast-derived succinic acid creates a comfortable pairing, and it goes well with classics like yakitori to unconventional ethnic and European-style dishes.
